[QUOTE="SbassLaser, post: 8862356, member: 686280"] So that would give you 1156 at a perfect 1 ohm load. When the subs start playing your impedance will go up, people call this impedance rise, or "box rise". So what that means is your subs are actually getting much less power than what you measure at the speaker terminals with a dmm. The good news about that is you can go to a bigger amp without having to worry too much about giving your subs too much power. But you've gotta keep in mind that it takes power to make power, so if youre going to upgrade your amp you need to make sure your electrical system can support it. But like I asked before, if youre keeping the bass knob at 40% that means youre not using your current amp at its full potential, so what makes you want to upgrade it? [/QUOTE]
