^^ I dont kwo if you know what your talking about.. just because the speaker is of different ohm independence does not make it "quieter."
OK smarty pants, do a little reading on Ohms law.
E=IxR Volts= current x resistance
P=IxE Watts=current x voltage
An amp (or radio) is putting out some amount of voltage, lets say 8 volts, into an impedance of 4 ohms...
8(E)=?(I)x4(R)
I=2 amps of current then...
Watts=2(I)x8(E)
watts= 16

Now the same amp and a 2ohm spkr
8(E)=?(I)x2(R)
I= 4 amps of current
Watts=4(i)x8(E)
watts =32

so twice the power into the speaker with the lower impedance (assuming the volume level on the system is the same) This is why most 2 channel amps put out twice as much power into a 2 ohm load as they do into a 4 ohm load.

Also I forgot about the Images... too bad they are out of business. If you can find a pair of these, grab them they are DAMN GOOD.
