[QUOTE="nauc, post: 2568337, member: 560039"] most amps put out more power the lower the impedance example... 100 watts at 4 ohms 200 watts at 2 ohms 400 watts at 1 ohm so you can get more power for your money if you have a sub that can be wired into 2 or 1 ohm BUT not all amps are stable at 2 or 1 ohms, so having a sub whose impedance is 2 or 1 ohms wont work and could ruin the amp some more good sites to help you learn...
