[QUOTE="maylar, post: 289067, member: 541144"] In general terms, the lower the impedance (ohms) the more power you get. The limit to how low in ohms you can go is determined by the design of the amp. The game we play is choosing a combination of speaker or sub impedances that gives the best results for any given amplifier. Example: You have a 2 channel amp that will run 200 watts 4 ohms bridged or 100 watts each channel with 2 ohms on each, and you want to use it for 2 subs. Choices for sub wiring: A) Two 8-ohm subs in parallel (4 ohm total) running bridged. B) Two 4 ohm DVC subs wired with their coils in parallel on each channel C) Two 2 ohm subs wired in series running bridged All cases give the same result, 100 watts per sub. With this amp, two 4 ohm speakers could not be wired to get the maximum power the amp is capable of. These are the things you have to consider when configuring a system, and it's the reason there's so many friggin "ohms" questions on the forums. [/QUOTE]
