Will a amp wired to 4 ohm still pull as much power as an amp wired at 1 ohm


Recommended Posts

I've always wondered this.

If you had a 2.5 Korean board. That will do 2500 rms at 1ohm. But let's say you grab a 5k Korean board that does 2500rms at 2ohm, or a 7.5k Korean board that does 2.5k at 4ohm. How will they all strain your electrical system? Similar? Or is it truly better to have bigger amps running at higher ohm loads.

Snafu has already answer this

Got a link? I am curious.

i understand its not always about wattage and clean power. I'm just saying as far as the masses, who would be willing to spend that much more money to be efficient. I'm talking about the mono block amps. Makes me think of the old guy with a corvette, and never drives faster than 35mph.

Probably no one, most people bitch about paying for amps as it is so I doubt anyone is running a 10k at 4 ohm.

That being said for what I'm planning right now I'm thinking about a huge 2 channel ab at 4 or 8 ohm so I might be one of the idiots that would buy a 10k and run it at 4 ohm if I had the money.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

I'm sure we have both seen people bitch about buying ofc wire. the question is interesting, and I'm all about learning. wasn't trying to ruffle your feathers.

Well if you want high power and good SQ and as said money not an issue, why not a T15k? Hard to find, yes, but $ talks right? Hands down the best 20-20 amp there is IMHO.

If I could afford one I'd have one for sure, definitely the most amazing car amp ever made.
