New member Username: MontanapanamaPost Number: 1 Registered: Mar-07 | I recently bought a set of 8 OHM JL W1V2s. I have an old (1992) Hifonics Ulysses running them (1 Ohm stable). Sounds ok, but the Amp only produces 100 watts at 4 Ohm with speakers in Parallel. Question: How can I get the system to a 2 Ohm load? Would adding a resistor work? Would this increase output? Thanks |
