there isn't one part of my system that runs at 4ohms in my truck...everything is
2 ohm or less...i run a phoenix gold amp so it can handle that abuse....if you
take your speaker wires from your amp and from one speaker on to the next
(parallel wiring) with 2 4 ohm speakers your amp will see a 2 ohm load....hence
your amp will make more power IF it is rated for handeling a 2 ohm load...alot
of amps don't and can literally burn up if not wired corectly....what amp are
you looking at?
