[QUOTE="darita, post: 6679804, member: 618626"] 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[B] any[/B] 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.
