Is it harder on an amp to push a 15" 2ohm sub, or a 10" 2ohm sub. Does it put more of a load on an amp to push a bigger sub or does the amp just see the resistance.

As far as strain on the amp, at equal gain the only thing that matters is impedance so there will be no differance. Now if the effiancey is differant and you want equal volume out of either sub, the less effiant sub will put more strain on the amp.
