When the impedence is turned up, so is the gain. The efficiency is turned down, as is the quality of the power. The JL amp has the capability to produce 600 watts at 2 ohms, but its design keeps things simple for those who don't want to go to the trouble of figuring out impedence loads and power output.


300 watts at 4ohm WILL be the same as 300 watts at 2ohm. the gains are no way changed. if they are, then why would JL even pu on a gain knob? what the amp does is the amp detects the ohm and regulates the rail voltage so the amp would have enough power to put out that much of watts at 1.5-4.0 ohm
