[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 1486493, member: 550915"] Lowering the impedence load will almost always result in an increase in THD. Whether or not that increase is audible depends on the amp. Also whether or not you have to adjust the gain will depend largely on the amp as well. Technically the gain should not have to be adjusted for a change in load, unless you are working with a JL. In reality, since so few amps are capable doubling their power into half the load you will have to dial the gain down a bit to reduce the rail voltage and keep the amp from clipping. [/QUOTE]
