[QUOTE="somekook, post: 495664, member: 549298"] nope. it doesnt just send out all the current it can without throwing the breaker. you have to use the second equation. if you hook it up at 1 ohm, thats (220 volts/ 1 ohm = 220 amps) which is going to throw the breaker. @ 2 ohms its (220 volts/ 2 ohms = 110 amps) which might not immediately throw the breaker so you might get a few seconds of about 24,200 watts. @ 4 ohms it comes to 7100 watts, still plenty to blow the sub. even at 8 ohms, its going to give the sub 3.5 thousand some watts which will take longer but still probably blow it soon.
