DF is always pretty low on a low impedance amp. It's just a ratio of the impedance of the load being driven to the output impedance of the amp, so naturally - with a 1 ohm load vs 4 DF will be lower. It used to matter when 25w was a lot of power, but now with 200-300w being normal, and 500+ really common DF is not an issue. Every amp built today has a DF well above anything that could effect sound. http://www.bcae1.com/dampfact.htm |
