I had called biketronics a day or so ago due to a small issue im having with my 6x9s and as always biketronics stepped up and have no problem standing behind there products. On a side note I was having a conversation with them about the output of a 2180 @ a 2ohm load. Mainly becouse I have the chance to pick one up fairly cheap, even though I've been holding out for a 4180 I was thinking this may be an improvement over my 4.520d for now. So to get to the point... To my suprise robin at biketronics claims that at a 2ohm load the 2180 will double its output? Claiming each of my four speakers will still see 180w. Meaning the amp will put out 360w per channel at 2 ohms for a total of 720w? Now I'm no guru or anything but typically this is not how a 4 ohm to 2 ohm relationship works. I know I have read several times and been apart of many conversations on here where some have stated that bt has claimed around 230w per channel at 2ohms. I'm not sure if I just recieved bad info and maybe should have saved that question for bill or if anyone here has any info that may help.

Theoretical it should double. Problem is that with lower impedance load the efficiency of an amp goes down.
I only read about the 230w as pioneer74 mentions below.
There's nothing wrong with a Yugo. Basic, inexpensive transportation that will get you where you need to go. Just doesn't get you there with speed or style.
I don't know the output of either the 2180 or 4180. All I know is that the 4180 and 6.5 and 7.1 speakers I bought from BT is clear and as loud as I care to crank it. The warranty is a nice extra.
