[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8451566, member: 614752"] The proper tool for the job is Dayton DATS. 100$ at Parts Express and worth every penny. But yes, that's what you'd want to do to be safe.... assuming of course that the amp manufacturer didn't already gamble (cough Brazilians cough) that you'd run their rated impedance nominal sub and that within normal bandwidth you're not already coming in a bit high. In the example I posted, if you could cross over with a steep enough slope you could probably get away with 24-64hz running this "2 ohm" woofer with a 4 ohm stable amp. It may go into protect though even at low power when it sees the lower impedance though. If you were using test tones you could be 100% confident of what's going to happen or if you mixed your own music or had a good spectrum analyzer you could chose songs that didn't have anything outside the "safe" areas and be fine as well.
