[QUOTE="then00b, post: 1215359, member: 563370"] I was unsure of the wattage the amp would put out so I emailed CarDomain about it and got the following response, which makes me rethink my whole set up if it is true (I was looking to get those 800 watts): "Thanks for writing to us with your question. Technically speaking, if you have a dual 4 ohm wired in parallel for a 2 ohm circuit you will pull twice the wattage from the amp. But, in real life that's not what happens; the amp tries to work twice as hard and shuts down. That is what would happen with this amp as it is not rated for 2 ohm operation. If you have a dual 4 ohm amp I would recommend that you go with a mono amp; they are designed to run at 2 ohms. We don't have an Orion amp that will put out 200w at 2 ohms, but we have many others that will, just let us know if you would like any suggestions" [/QUOTE]
