[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 920931, member: 555320"] Well, first thing I would point out is that I think you missed the point of his thread. His point was to say that the impedance of the driver isn't what will determine output. Just because a driver is 8ohm, it doesn't mean it will have less output than a 4ohm driver simply because it will receive less power from the amp. Go over the speaker section on here and read through some of the posts where I've recommended 8ohm speakers. What's the first thing people say? "I don't want that, it's 8ohm" because they automatically assume it'll be less loud than a 4ohm driver because of power. What cheapboy (npdang) is saying is that it isn't impedance that determines output, but efficiency. So, just because a driver is 8ohm, it doesn't mean it will be quiter than a 4ohm driver simply because it will receive less power from the amp. 2nd, I don't see where the power ratings for the ID Chameleon's are different between the two impedance options: [URL="http://www.imagedynamicsusa.com/products_page.php?id=chameleon&type=midrange"]http://www.imagedynamicsusa.com/products_page.php?id=chameleon&type=midrange[/URL] [/QUOTE]
