[QUOTE="blazian87, post: 8681972, member: 574798"] If you're talking about pure SQ and pure SPL they are both totally different ends of the spectrum, but there is some middle ground. You can incorporate both in different ways and they both get very expensive either way. The problem is the louder it gets, the more vibrations there are, which will hinder SQ but doesn't mean you can't have fun with it. I believe there is SQL, it's just you can't satisfy both crowds equally. You can't have everything. 1500@1 ohm vs 1500@.5ohms is still 1500 watts regardless, but the .5 ohms is working much harder (hotter) to do the same thing on a 1 ohm amp. People run .5 to get the most out of their amps but it is known to be risky. As long as you have the electricals to back it up and have a good reputable amp, many have done exceptionally well in SPL competitions with half ohm. When you play music, it'll never stay .5 anyway. It'll jump up to 1 or 2 ohms easily so it's still very workable. You don't have to compete to know that custom enclosures is what makes the end results that much more drastic.
