[QUOTE="bikejunkie223, post: 1155332, member: 563147"] In a circuit, the lower the impedence(ohms) the more current will flow. Think of it this way, voltage is electrical pressure, the higher the voltage, the more it pushes current. Amperage is actual current flow (electrons) flowing through the circuit. Resistance/impedence/ohms is the load (speaker) So, to use an analogy, water pressure=voltage, water=current, ohms=the size of the hose. with a bigger hose more water can flow at a given pressure.Make sense? the only difference is that electrically, as resistance DECREASES current flow increases. There are also differences in series circuits, and parallel circuits and how they use and divide available current, but one lesson for now is all I have time for. Hope that made sense and you gained some understanding. What's the point of knowing something if you can't share it right? [/QUOTE]
