[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8676550, member: 650438"] its just more power at a higher ohm load but you cant wire down low to 1 ohm which is the trade off. not that you'll ever reach the clipping point of the amp but there is a clipping indicator on the amp to tell you when you are over driving the signal and making dirty power as well. I'd recommend installing something like a stinger voltmeter so you can monitor your vehicle voltages. (I recommend this with every build no matter how big or small) It can also let you know when your battery or alternator is going bad. You'll just want to turn up the amp gain till you get the appropriate amount of output you need and make sure your voltages arent dropping below 12..5 all the times, maybe at heavy peaks in bass heavy music. If its dropping below 12.0, lower the amp gain. however with 8 gauge wire, you wont really pull that much current at all, your wire is already naturally restricting power flow so the amp wont be making anywhere as much as you think it is unless you upgrade the wire which i doubt you'll need since output is not a main concern. You'll definitely will need to go down to a dayton 10 with your space requirements...
