So I used to have my subs on a 2 channel amp bridged and playing at 8 ohms. They sounded great and when I got a new amp it was a mono amp and now they are at 2 ohms. I can't tell a difference in the sound quality. It is deffinatley louder (more watts) and it runs a bit hotter.
My question is, has anyone gone from a 4 ohm system to a 2 ohms system ON SUBS and noticed a major difference in SOUND QUALITY?

I personally didn't notice a difference.
I was wondering if other people had noticed a difference. I know it's going to be louder, there is more power (apprxmately twice as much)

I've personally installed hundreds of subwoofer/amplifier combinations using a wide variety of wiring methods and amplifier types. I have never noticed a difference in sound quality when wiring for different impedances. As long as an amplifier is operating within its specifications, it won't produce enough distortion to be audible.

It extremely relies upon upon your money for an amp. If so you could be in a position to be in a position to pay for a min 2 ohm secure amp, proper a million ohm strong amp, rock a 2 ohm 15. If now no longer, the 4 ohm would should be severe-high quality, with a 2 ohm strong amp. you ought to account for day holiday, or the cone moving interior and outdoors, to make certain your sub lasts a lengthy time period.. astonishing success!

You answered this one on your own. SQ...no diff....
SPL....if the amp can handle the load it will be considerably louder.
True the amp will run warmer but if it's designed for the load it should not shorten the life of the equipment.

When amps are loaded @ 2Ohms vs. 4, the THD goes up a bit. So, yeah it adds distortion to lower the impedance.
Plus, the 2 amps you have-had aren't the same, so you can't compare any specs between the 2.
Good Luck!

At 2 ohms there is less resistance. So with a sub woofer, you may notice more bass in it (I do with mine). There is also a risk of blowing your sub or amp though, so be careful.
