[QUOTE="2theMaxx21, post: 144653, member: 546337"] An Ohm is a measurement of resistance. The lower your Ohms, the more power will flow through your speakers. But your amps can only handle so much power output. Different Ohm ratings doesn't make your speakers sound better or worse. It just controls how much power your amp puts out to the speakers. See what the lowest ohm rating is that your amps can handle, then add the correct speakers to your system to try and match that ohm rating. If you go lower than your amp's minimum ohm rating then your amp will put out more power, but it will probably shut itself down or get real hot. An amp that puts out 500 watts at 1 ohm will sound the same as an amp that puts out 500 watts at 4 ohms. 500 watts is 500 watts. The only difference is that an amp that is 1 ohm stable is more flexible with how many speakers you have hooked up to it. A 1 ohm stable amp should be able to power more subs than a 4 ohm amp. It all depends on how you wire the subs together. [/QUOTE]
