Amplifier 2 ohms vs 4 ohms

  1. So I've got a question,

    I have been looking into this
    PUNCH Amplifiers - P300-1 - Rockford Fosgate®

    I am confused about the ohms to watts ratio. It says "240 Watts x 1 @ 4-Ohms
    404 Watts x 1 @ 2-Ohms" I understand that it will put out more wattage at 2-Ohms opposed to 4 Ohms. But is there just a switch that makes it switch back in forth from 2-4? Or does it have to do with my battery/wires?

    Any help is much appreciated, thanks.
     
  2. Ohms is resistance the lower the ohm the more power due to the less resistance if u have dual 4 ohm speakers you can wire it down to 2 ohms, I have a Rockford fosgate 300.1 on 2 Rockford fosgate p2 15s and they slam you should def get it its really Under rated

    4 ohms is usually my first choice cause you can wire it down to 1 on a 1 ohm stable sub for maximum power.
