My installer tells me that if I run my two JL 10W6V2's at 1 ohm, I run the risk of dammage to my system if I make the mistake of accidentally cranking the volume. He strongly suggests, since I don't listen at high volumes to begin with, that the JL's be hooked up at 4 ohms to my AQ1200D amp. Doing so, he says, will give around 500W from the amp, to the two JL's.
Is there any validity to what he is saying? Keep in mind I do not compete and I am an average listener who doesn't need to rattle the bolts loose in my trunk. Before you ask, I got the JL's and AQ amp because I wanted quality gear, producing quality bass.
