[QUOTE="tymoto21, post: 8573093, member: 589669"] impedance rise once the sub is playing the resistance will change. usually 2x the resting resistance is common for ported boxes. some people have 4x some have 1.5x but there will always be some rise. also it is the most rise at enclosure tuning but also the most efficient. so you may be getting less power but still be louder than at a different frequency with more power. so just because you clamped x watts at one frequency doesnt mean you werent getting close to 6k at a different frequency. or if you had a clipped signal that can damage subs.
