[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 719453, member: 555320"] Well, technically you can. [B]However[/B], the resistor will just waste that "extra" 200w the amp is now putting out as heat, and the sub will still only receive about 200w (just the same as it is now). Well, first, you'd want to make [I]less[/I] resistance to get more out of the amp [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] But, regardless...... Stinger and Veritas made a device called the "Accumatch", which was supposed to have done just that, decrease the impedence and didn't just waste the extra power as heat, allowing the sub/speaker to receive more power. I beleive it was back in '95 that they got big......and it died that same year because the Accumatch was doing as much harm as it was good, and the program was for the most part discontinued (atleast by Stinger). Every once in a while they still pop up on egay though. About the best thing you could do is sell your current sub (if it is the single 4ohm VC kind) and purchase either that same sub in the DVC 4ohm/coil flavor, or buy a different sub that would allow for a lower impedence.
