Bronze Member Username: HeadutterPost Number: 51 Registered: Jul-05 | I am buying 2 alpine Type R 12's. I have always thought that the higher the ohmage I run at the cooler the amp will run and draw less amperage. My amp will put out the same power at any ohmage between 1.5 - 4 ohms. Is my theory correct? If so I could buy 2 dual 4ohm speakers, run them in series parralel to get a 4 ohm load. |

Bronze Member Username: HeadutterPost Number: 52 Registered: Jul-05 | Apparently not always. 99 out of 100 times your right, but the JL Slash series and the JBL Crown series put out the same power regardless of ohmage. That's why I asked about the amp running cooler or not at higher ohmages. |
