[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 2664089, member: 550915"] Well if you want to ask a question, ask why the "better" amp above doens't make 4000W @ 1 ohm? It's limiting something as well. I don't think that you are understanding what the others in this post are saying. If it isn't an important feature to you, don't buy the amp. If you think that an amp must be able to make more power into a lower impedance load, then buy one that does. This isn't a recent development either. The first Soundstream Reference line had a similar feature. Two power supply rails that were manually switched allowing the amp to make max power @ either 4 ohm bridged or 1 ohm bridged. SS did it for the same reason that JL did. It allowed one series of amps to accomodate thier entire line of speakers and subs and the myriad ways that their customers would use them. If flexibility isn't such an important feature in the grand scheme of things, why do most subs have a DVC option? [/QUOTE]
