[QUOTE="mat3833, post: 8787969, member: 587645"] This really doesn't translate to amps. Running 1 ohm is alot harder on the amp than running 4 ohms. A better automotive comparison would be a gearing difference. Car has a 7000 rpm Rev limit, in high gear 4 ohm would be like the car turning 2500RPM at 70mph while 1 ohm would be like the same engine turning 6000RPM to do the same 70mph. "over powering" a speaker is not nessecarily good not bad. Sending lots of clean power to a speaker is fine, but a speaker can quickly fail on below "rated" power with a clipped signal. Matt [/QUOTE]
