[QUOTE="themainjam, post: 563547, member: 556010"] ok ohms are a measure of resistance. so the higher the resistance the lower power you get. (IE 200w to a 4 ohms speaker. will be 100W to a 8 ohms. or 400 to a 2 ohms and 800 to a 1ohm.) so with that said the reason everyone doesnt wire their amps to 1 ohm is because most amps are stable at 1 ohm. and also you get more distortion with only 1 ohm resistance than you would with a 4 ohm speaker. i may not be clear but at least i try [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
