ohms vs watts

hey blowntweeters thats because the 4 ohm load is bridged and the one ohm load is single

One ohm load = amp works harder =amp draws more current = amp is closer to its limits at all times = amp is far more likely to clip = amp is far more likley to distort = amp makes more heat, noise and distortion = speaker voice coils are far more likely to overheat = much more likely to produce a crispy crittter system.  Yes, if you have a one-ohm stable amplifier it will produce "more watts" and in general will force the speaker system to produce a few more db and you will make more noise.  But unless you really know what you're doing and are very careful in your setup I recomend you operate any system at no less than 2 ohms, 4 to be safe.  I also know of NO readily available multi-channel amplifier that can handle a one-ohm load when bridged.  Most require 4-ohms minimum.

Hey, Dyohn the Kicker xs 100 is a multichannel amp. and it takes a 1 ohm mono load..   now its just the matter of traking one of these amps down and finding one for less then $3-400    haha      Just had to give ya some grief.2009 0-1000 Trunk WR 154.0DB 2009 1001+ Trunk WR
