The Less Ohms, The Lower Freqs.?

[Trixter 10+ year member]

I was just wondering if dropping the ohms would create lower frequincies. If so, how do ohms effect frequincies?

The reason I ask is because when I ran my amp at 1.33ohms, it seemed like it produced lower freqs. then how I have it now at 2.66.

No.

More power, maybe. Lower freq's no.

I dont think so, but I´m sure it produces more power and also increases the THD a little bit, so the signal at 4 ohm its cleaner than at 2 ohm.

Originally posted by Jmac The reason it seemed to produce lower frequencies would probably be from the increase in power. Since lower frequencies take more power to be produced than higher frequencies, the extra power could've allowed your amp to produce those low frequencies at a higher volume level.

I would tend to agree with this being the reason for the difference. The lower the frequency the more power that is required to produce it at the same relative level. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
