Half the resistance and the power at the point where the amp
begins to clip will be halved.


doh!


You got that last bit right at least


I mean, double the resistance and the power will be halved.


For those living in virtual reality anyway. In the real world things get
slightly more complicated.


Not really. if you've ever in your life looked at an amp's
specficiations given for 4 and 8 ohm loads, the 4 ohm load's power is
about double.
