Not a Boss Audio cheep amp or speakers or something."Let's use those Sundowns as an example, rated for 500w rms each. Lets pair them to a 1000w rms amp....using that graph from above the amp will have a load as high as 5 ohms. If the amp is rated 1000/500/250w at 1/2/4 ohms, that puts power as low as 200w when it plays that 5 ohm load. "Understandable yes.  A question that may have a few different answers. Different factors apply. ohm's and impedance and cooling  and so on.  So maybe a rule of thumb would be to get an amp that is more like 2X  the rated power of the speaker.</blockquote>
