[QUOTE="jujumantb, post: 1261794, member: 555241"] Whoever told you that knows very little about audio. For one, thats not a 4 ohm sub, its a DUAL 4 ohm sub... making it, effectively, either a 2 ohm sub OR an 8 ohm sub depending on how you wire it to the amp. And there is no such thing as a "2 ohm amp" or "4 ohm amp" amps put out different amounts of power depeding on the load (ohm) that you wire them to. (usually) the lower the ohms, the more power an amp will put out, but when that load gets too low (say 1 ohm in this case), that amp would overheat and fry since it is not meant to handle that amount of power. (in reality that amp probably has protection circuitry so it would just shut down instead of frying) [/QUOTE]
