[QUOTE="Bun-Bun, post: 4812512, member: 584852"] *edit* Misread your post originally Now my brain has gone way off track again. Basic thermo. energy into a system = energy out of a system. And heat can be expressed in watts. But if you take two runs of cable and put the same power to it but one with a lower voltage and the other with the higher voltage, you would have the first one with a higher current and the second with a lower current.

However as ultimate said very few situations would result in this scenario as once you get into DVC and the simple fact that I dont know anyone who would buy 1 ohm subs and wire to 2 ohm... in practice the combinations just don't exist as my above example.
