[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 974943, member: 561023"] Hooking up a speaker (subwoofer in this case) that's too low of an impedence load for whatever is powering it to be happy would cause damage to the amplifier section in the receiver, not the sub (unless you clip the heck out of the receiver then ya might damage the sub) If your sub is a Dual-4 Ohm that you've wired the coils in parallel to get that 2 Ohm load rewire them temporarily in series to make an 8 Ohm load until it gets installed in your car. I'm currently using two 4 Ohm SVC 10's wired together in series being powered by the subwoofer channel on my HT receiver and have had no problems yet. [/QUOTE]
