yes the formulas are correct. i believe i said that already though. but, if they don't know what an ohm is, or even current for that matter, what good are the formulas? and really, i believe his question was, "why does the power get bigger when the ohms drop?" without understanding circuitry that cannot be explained. because in amplifiers when the ohms drop the power does not always go up. an example of this is the alpine mrv 357. i think that is the model number. well in case it isn't, the one i am reffering to is the 1400 watts at 4 ohms in 1 bridged channel. on that amplifier, in 2 ohms, in 2 channels, you get quite a bit less total power out of the channels. yes i know that when you bridge the channels all of the power from the 2 channels goes to one source and when they are seperate it goes to seperate sources. but, without understanding specifics about circuitry, you will have no clue why running 2 seperate 4 ohm speakers on 2 seperate channels will not produce the same total power as running the same 2 4 ohm speakers at a 4 ohm load on the 2 channels bridged. the reason for the varience in total power is attributed to amp design which cannot be explained in any short form on here. so for the next time you think about butting heads with me on knowlege, make sure you know what you are talking about. thank you.
