[QUOTE="adulbrich, post: 8384156, member: 661255"] The lower the impedance your amps se, the less efficient they are. They will pull more current. Two amps strapped to one ohm will pull more than twice the current of one amp wired to one ohm, because each amp sees .5 before rise. They will be less efficient, but make a lot more power. The higher voltage your electrical system can maintain, the more efficient your amps will run. They will actually pull less current. An amp on 14.4v will pull less current to make the same power than the same amp on 12v. Some Rockford amps are weird/complicated because they have a different type of power supply, but I wouldn't worry about those. [/QUOTE]
