[QUOTE="nweibley, post: 382055, member: 551888"] From an 1800DT I wouldn't get my hopes up for 1,600watts. With that amp, you can consider yourself very lucky if you can get 1.2kw of clean power out of it. As far as 1600 watts @ 4 Ohms vs 1600 watts @ 1 Ohm... typically, it is cheaper to buy an amp that puts out that kind of power in a low impedance load... a DVC 2 ohm sub like the XXX can present a 1 ohm load and allow a 1 ohm stable amp to 'give it everything it's got' so you are really going to be using the amp at 1 ohm, where as typically at 4 ohms (on a mono amp, at least) you are not running the amp that hard... if that makes ANY sense.
