Why is SQ better at 4 or 8 ohms compared to 1 or less?

[QUOTE="VWBobby, post: 6993441, member: 624844"] Ok, so it sounds like the ohm load has more to do with how efficient the amp can run = cooler to an extent. If the amp is happy and running cool, it will produce good clean sound. It also sounds like you have to keep your ohm load in the same range as the amp was designed, be it 4 or 8 ohm otherwise the amp doesn't respond to the load properly (8 or 16 ohm on an amp designed for 4). Its probably similar to running a sub/speaker in a box that is too large or too small, the "cushioning" effect the load has must have an effect on the output stage of the amp (how the transistors are actually operating). Thanks for the help! This is exactly the type of info I was looking for. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
