[QUOTE="aharper, post: 5721989, member: 608300"] 8w6 is a Dual Voice Coil speaker, so dual 6 ohm. Reading the spec sheet for two speakers it reads like this... With coils AND speakers wired in parallel: 2 dual 6Ω speakers (D6) will present a 1.5Ω load. With the coils wired in series and the speakers wired in parallel: 2 dual 6Ω speakers (D6) will present a 6Ω load. So I guess I mis-spoke in my original post. I can't find an amp that runs at 1.5Ω so do I look for a 1Ω amp or a 2Ω amp???????? [/QUOTE]
