[QUOTE="mat3833, post: 8787970, member: 587645"] Running the sub at rated power isn't bad. Running your amp at 4 ohms isn't bad either. There is nothing wrong with how you have your sub/amp set. Wiring down to 1 ohm would give you the ability to send much more power to the sub if you wanted too, but you could easily blow it if you don't know what you are doing. Wiring to 1 ohm and turning the gain down to match the same power as 4 ohm doesn't offer any real benefit or downside in this case. Personally, I'd run at 4 ohm, but it's really down to personal preference and who/what you believe. Matt [/QUOTE]
