[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 3178928, member: 561023"] Since you even bothered to post the question the answer to the question I have boldfaced would be ~ Both. But there's nothing wrong with inexperience. We were all there once upon a time. Now you've come to ask a question about something you didn't know - now you'll know and consequently you won't be as inexperienced any longer.

Kick him in the nutz for us and tell him to quit spreading misinformation that is not only incorrect but flatly stupid. An amp is designed to output X amount of wattage at Y level of electrical resistance. Let's use your example of an amp rated to output 1,000w X 1 @ 2 Ohms. That amp, when presented with 2 Ohm worth of resistance, outputs 1kW. Whether you use a single Dual 4 Ohm subwoofer or 100 different subs to achieve that 2 Ohm load the amp's output at that resistance will remain static. A single DVC 4 Ohm sub with the coils wired in parallel to make a 2 Ohm load will get the full 1kW by itself. If you were theoretically able to combine 100 different subs to create that 2 Ohm load and the resistance on each individual driver were the same then each one would receive [B]10 watts[/B] of the amp's 1kW output.
