[QUOTE="TrillGates2k6, post: 8244847, member: 660335"] Man, this is the easiest way I can explain it to you; OHMS is Resistance; At different levels of resistance, the amp is able to output MORE POWER; But you have to have your SUBWOOFERS wired in such a configuration so you can tap into the LOWER OHM LEVELS; Lower Ohm levels always yield more MAX POWER. If you have an AMP that says 4000 Watts RMS MAX; you're only gonna be able to get those 4000 watts if your speaker configuration is wired to pull a 1 OHM load; Most AMPS are only stable at a 1 OHM LOAD; That's the maximum; A few claim to be stable at a 0.5 OHM LOAD, but not many; So as a rule of thumb, you can only get the MAX POWER out of your AMP if your speakers are wired in a 1 OHM Configuration; Now the next step is for you to learn how to wire your speakers so that you can achieve a 1 OHM or a 2 OHM load; I'm not gonna teach you that; You can research that part on your own.
