grubbs i'd like to say yes to an mm...but the final ohm load i'm getting (using dmm) is 2-2.5 with box rise...thats the lowest i can get. so i'm not just taking the nominal ohm load and running with it...if that was the case i'd be saying i wanted the power at 1 ohm....but a reactive load fluctuates.. most CA members dont got that concept yet
