Hay all. I have a dual 4ohm woofer and an amp that is rated for 1000 watts at 1ohm. I know 2ohm should be ok, but I want the option to go to 1ohm. What are my options for changing the impedance? I know that are/were products out there for doing this but I've never used them. What disadvantages will they present and what are the costs involved?

Best bet is to add an identical sub and wire in a parallel circuit. After that all the options you are considering does absolutely nothing for getting more power into your single sub, thus it would be a waste of money in my opinion.

 

Adding a sub would get me down to 1ohm yes, but it would defeat the purpose. I want more power for the single sub that I already have. I've seen these impedance matching products from DLS, and Rockford a few years back, but i havent used them. So i'm looking for a person that may have some experience with them.

 

For the 2-3db difference? I would avoid the impedance matching transformers.

 

Don't bother with it, just run 2-ohm. Its not worth it.
