[QUOTE="SomeGuyDude, post: 6282545, member: 613531"] You wouldn't if you don't want to. That's just showing what the amp is capable of, and it helps you with flexibility. Say you have an amp rated for 1500@1ohm and 1000@2. Right now you have two subs rated to do 750 each, so you hook them up and have a great time. But for whatever reason you want to scrap those and just get one sub. The one you want, having listened to a bunch, is rated at 1000. So you get the dual 4 model and wire it at 2 ohms, so now you're giving that sub its rated power and didn't need a new amp. [/QUOTE]
