[QUOTE="RattlinStratus, post: 563589, member: 555285"] It is more difficult and expensive to make an amp be stable at 1ohm than 2 or 4. Some companies double in wattage...500x1 @ 2ohms and 1000watts @ 1ohms, some companies like JL will stay 1000/1 at 1 ohm, 2 ohms, or 4ohms. JL felt wiring to 1 ohm their speakers did not sound as good as 4 ohms. So they made it same wattage no matter what just so you can have more wiring options. I think that makes sense...I am confusing myself. Think of it this way...Current is to water as ohms is to the diameter of the tubing. Then the bigger hose (less ohms) will flow more water (current). If that makes any sense? Trying is the first step to failure... [/QUOTE]
