Im sure its been beaten over and over again, but a recent post Ive seen has me curious.
People believe that the higher your ohm loads the better the SQ. Generally the statement is a sub ran at 4 ohms will have better SQ than the same sub on the same amp at 1 ohm.
What I would like to see is proof of this. It would take a fairly controlled environment to pull off. Sub, box, song, everything would have to be the same. Of course amp gain tuned properly in both cases. Id like to see an O Scope reading of the two scenarios here.
Anyone have any concrete proof that 4 ohms is better for SQ than 1? Of course this is just an example. For me Im concerned with my Evo at 2 ohms rather than 6, but of course its all subjective and there are a handful of ways you could configure the hundreds of subs out there. I dont want people who come in and say "Oh Ive read this or that". I want plots, real world experience from competitors, vendors, etc.
