[QUOTE="brwillms, post: 174073, member: 8859"] Impedance also changes with frequency. You have to be more mindful of that when running a lower load on your amp. Depending on your components you may have some serious issues. From my car stereo days this was only a problem with poorly designed equipment. Unfortunately, today there is a lot less design than there was 10 years ago. Most companies now build decent sounding/designed components for bargain prices. Companies like Orion and Linear Power (who made top not stuff 10 years ago) couldn't compete. They were either bought out to join the huge level of cheap components or closed their doors all together. Go to ebay, find an operational Orion 225HCCA (25 watts per channel...stable to 1 ohm bridged), find 2 good 4 ohm Dual Voice Coil subs, design a box with a Qts of about .9, wire it to the amp in parallel and enjoy. This little amp puts out a rated 400 watts in this configuration (It's a lot more than that). It has a great damping factor which arguably one of the most important factors in good Bass reproduction. I promise you you won't be disappointed. [/QUOTE]
