Sorry forgot to mention that the zed amp has on board crossovers that will make a lesser amp cry on it's circuit board.

cheers

most 4ohm coils will read about 3 ohms using a multi meter and measured nom. impedance will only be a couple points up from that.....

Thanks Haunz

I was only mentioning it because there was a problem when the first version of the Minilith came out. Since then, Mr. Mantz has corrected the issue however I just thought I would mention it.
