[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 4172845, member: 550915"] They'll be "properly" powered. By the time you account for power compression, impedance rise etc. they'll be doing as well on that amp as you hope. Your "half-assed" calculations are wrong also. Power vs. impedance is not a linear function. 1.5 ohms is not half way between 1 and 2 ohms. Since that amp doesn't double power between going from 2 to 1 ohms, getting even really in the ballpark of what it would be rated at is impossible. I would figure the 2 ohm number is going to be pretty close to what you'll actually get. Again, not something that I'd get wrapped up about. [/QUOTE]
