[QUOTE="SmartAsss, post: 7214565, member: 629857"] Not as much as you would think. In order to double the output decibels from a speaker you need 10x as much power. In order to increase 3 decibel you need 2x the power. One decibel difference is inaudible to many people. Your right though, a 4 db difference is audible, but power compression that is likely happening at the low 1ohm wiring is probably going to cause the theoretical decibel drop to be less then 4 db's. A 2-3db drop or less is can be inaudible. It would be well worth the few db loss in order to save his electrical system from destruction. also his electrical system is having voltage drop, so hes not getting 1200w. [/QUOTE]
