[QUOTE="Savant, post: 189835, member: 546108"] I think you are missing the point.. There are several things being talked about.. one is that, 500 in a 2 ohm is the same as 500 in a 4 ohm (provided both subs are 500 rated).. The 'second' issue is the power delived from any 'given' amp.. it will be able to provide more power to less resistence.. yes.. the 2 ohm load has the amp giving more power than if it went to a 4 ohm load.. Also, he's not asking about what subs 'to get'.. he's asking if his dvc 2 ohm will work with the amp that's running a dvc 4 ohm now.. he's selling the dvc 4ohm and has a dvc 2 ohm.. The easy answer is, he can probably hook it up if he adjusts things properly.. but, he might also blow the amp since it's not 1 ohm stable (advertised/rated anyway).. at 4 ohm, he could potentially only have 1/2 the volume... which might be preffered to blowing the amp.. So, in a nut shell, no one is wrong [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] just seems to be a bit of confusion over all [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
