[QUOTE="Lawless, post: 4348950, member: 589068"] An amp doubles your wattage when u drop the omhs, but the subwoofer can take less wattage when run at an lower omhs. if there is a 1000 watt 4 ohm voice coil, then when wired to 2 ohms, it can take 500 omhs, when wired down to 1 ohm, it can only take 250 watts @ 1 ohm. A 500 rms wattage sub, with two 4 ohm voice coils, has : two 250 watt 4 ohm voice coils, when wired to 2 ohms, each coil can only handle 125 watts, when dropped to 1 ohm, each coil can only handle 62.5 watts. correct or no? (I did not type that) [/QUOTE]
