[QUOTE="Alaxan, post: 61103, member: 544457"] When you set up your speakers at whichever run. Series, parallel, Series-parallel you are then setting the load of strain or freedom for the amp to push. The higher the number on the ohm's rating the more difficult it is for your amp to send signal thru it. For this reason as you drop down to a one or two ohm load you are allowing your amp to run with less resistance than it was made to use (Typical is 4ohms in a mobile environment) Doing this creates the amplifier to overwork since it was made to work with more strain on it which is why you can get more power out of the amp as you drop the ohms load. This can cause a problem if the amp is not 1 or 2 ohm stable and cause it to burn up. (an example would be if you are used to lifting a larger weight and then picked up a lighter weight you would be able to do it a lot more and more often, but it could overwork your heart more causing you to wear out as opposed to with the larger weight) [/QUOTE]
