[QUOTE="kc2eeb, post: 142307, member: 811"] Ok, let's try this. I did not say the speaker "pulls" watts. The most fundamental formula in electronics and electricity is current =voltage/resistance. So, if you have 80 volts/8 ohms = 10 Amps 80 volts/16 0hms = 5 Amps The higher resistance, with everything else remaining the same, produces less current. This is for DC. For the purpose of audio amplifiers the resistance goes up as frequency increases so a guitar speaker actually has higher resistance as the frequency goes up. Think of a car battery with jumper cables attached. If you touch the cables together and hold them you'll probably blow the top off the battery because the ohm resistance is very low, but, if you connect it to a headlight, (higher resistance) lower current and the bulb lights up.
