[QUOTE="spokey9, post: 8860274, member: 685744"] Dampening isn't the end all...a decent amp will still control a sub just fine at 1 ohm...unless you're going for an emma type sq build... At 4 ohm most amps are more efficient but you also pay more for power...my amp for example is about 90% efficient at 4ohm and around 80% efficient at 1 ohm...the price tag for an amp that does 3k at ohm will be quite a bit more money than one that does 3k at 1 ohm...so it's a tradeoff...
