Re: 6 0hm sub??? (bgracey)
well, you are mostly right, but yes, it can affect the sound quality. Impedience is resistance. If you put more resistance on the amp then it was meant to see, then you will reduce the output of the sub. The power will be lost to resistance. (unless your amp has a regulated power supply like a JL amp...thats a different story). If i put an 8 ohm speaker on a Rockford bd1000, then the sub will be MUCH quieter than the guy who was smart enough to put his 2 ohm speaker on the amp, like it was designed to see. No, the 8 ohm sub probably will not sound like poop (as in blown or static-y), but it will be MUCh quieter. Some amps actaully do not like to see higher resistance than what they are designed to see.
