Bronze Member Username: IlyawizardPost Number: 11 Registered: Nov-05 | INFINITY KAPPA PERFECT10.1D 10" Power Handling, RMS: 350W Impedance: 4 Ohm DVC Now the amp I wanted to buy is 700WRMS @ 2 Ohm, and 350WRMS @ 4 Ohm So I was asking if the sub could run at 2 Ohm instead of 4 Ohm. And if it can then what would be the difference? |

Anonymous | you could but another sub and wire them parallel parallel and theyll be at 2 ohms |
not anon Unregistered guest | kevin are u h0mo or stupid |
Bronze Member Username: Kwrubel21Shelby Township, MI United States Post Number: 25 Registered: Dec-05 | probably just stupid. but i was taught that 2 4ohm voice coils means divide the ohm load by 2 and that's what they're running at. |

Bronze Member Username: IlyawizardPost Number: 12 Registered: Nov-05 | Ok...I think I got it. Getting some flashback from high school phisics class on resistance. Basically if I get 2 350WRMS 4 Ohm subs and connect them in parallel, then I'll be able to use 700 WRMS amp at 2 Ohm, right? |

Bronze Member Username: IlyawizardPost Number: 13 Registered: Nov-05 | Thanks James...very good tool. But here's another question. Is there difference in quality b/w 1 Ohm load and 4 Ohm load? |
Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 3537 Registered: Jul-05 | no real audible differences ... however amps that put out alot of power @ 4 ohms are very expensive when compared to amps that do it @ 2 or 4ohms ...... |
