[QUOTE="stephgirl, post: 8691828, member: 660189"] So to complete my test :p The impedance rise (ohms) that the amp sees will rise depending and we know that higher ohms means more resistance and then = less power out of amp. That why most run 1 or 2 ohm to subs to get as much of the power out of amp but because of the rise the amp will not put out as much power then at the 1 ohm for say. So to [B][USER=678590]JTF Vegas[/USER] [/B]point his 1000w so amp and his 500w sub the impedance rise to say 8-12ohm ( less power) will only see about the 412w as you said. So a 200w rated amp say to a 100w speaker after the impedance rise that amp will only put out say the 100w at speaker rated and then after the arise the amp will not have to work as hard to keep that 100w and will run cooler. Also the proper voltage (gain adjustment) Am i correct? So i clearly understand now. That impedance (ohm) rise do play a big factor. So you want to get a amp that is higher rated then the speaker so when the rise happens and it ends up putting out less power, you want that less power to be close to the speakers rated power as possible.
