[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 8677054, member: 549629"] Its always a good idea to post model numbers of the items you are asking about. As it stands now, you seem to be asking if its better to run 800 watts or 1400 watts through a 400 watt speaker. Keep in mind that impedance rise is frequency based. Its a much bigger issue to SPL guys who burp at a specific frequency than it is for daily systems that are required to play a wide(r) frequency spectrum. Trying to run a 400 watt sub with a 800 or 1400 watt amp in a daily system is likely to lead to speaker failure. Also, unless you mean the same speaker model but a different version, there should never be any one single driver that can be 4ohms or 2ohms, unless its a dvc 2ohm and you are contemplating running only one coil, which would present a few new issues to account for.
