here is an example from my experiance after working with my MM4000.1s for 2 years i found that at 3ohm mono reactive load was the loudest. my box rise would typically be 3x that of the nominal load so even though the amp is 2 ohm mono stable i could wire to one ohm at 54hz because i knew the rise would bring it up to 3 ohm reactive. keep in mind that most of this does not pertain to music and dropping below recommended impedance on music rarely works out to your advantage.
So there is alot of work involved in figuring this out. You have to know freqs.
and all kinds of other stuff.
I'm gonna stick with my 1 ohm load and be happy.
Thanks for the info thus far, I hope it keeps going cause I would like to learn more about this.
