Impedance

If a 2-channel amp is running in Mono mode is connected to a 4-ohm sub, will the amp see it as 2-ohms or 4-ohms?

4 ohms is the simple answer but the actual answer is

it depends on what frequency your playing and the temperature of the speakers coil or coils.

the box will also effect impedance. why keep it simple...people should be educated.

OK, thanks. I thought it was 4 ohms but I was reading something at the CarDomain store that confused me. It said:

"The impedance seen by the bridged amplifier is half the rated impedance of a speaker connected to the bridged channel."

that is true. each CHANNEL see's 2 ohms. but you have the channels bridged together to form one.

4 ohms is 4 ohms, and yes, each chan will see 2 ohms
