[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8406274, member: 540940"] not necessarily. You're assuming the power supply doubles power at every halving of impedance. I've rarely if ever seen that with budget level amps. Their power increases tend to be much smaller, and they get further away from their ratings as impedance drops. of course it does Yeah, and who's going to (or would want to) do that? Yes, that's all fine and good, and I believe most of us trying to help people here are well aware of all that. But the guy simply asked if his amp is going to do what the ratings say it will do. The technical answer - no. The general answer -- while it is a little over-rated it will work well with the sub. I don't think feeding a novice crap about impedance rise and crest factor and efficiency does much to help them figure out if their amp is going to do what it claims to be able to do. [/QUOTE]
