Re: difference in ohms

The resistence on the 4 is double that of the 2

just a question, will using different ohm loads create any more distortion like.. using 1 ohm instead of 4 ohm, will it sound any worse? because that is what i hear.. just wondering

Re: difference in ohms

A lower impedence will raise the THD (total harmonic distortion), but it won't even be close to audible, especially on subs.
