Resistive Loading?

[Watchengineer]

Could someone explain what resistive loading means?

I was reading through the specs on the Bash amps installed in the SV Subwoofers and was wondering what it means.

I just purchase a PB-1 ISD and it states the amp has "Into 4 ohms, 320Watts, Resistive Loading".

Thanks for any insight.

I just means that they used some sort of resistor when testing the output of the amp instead of a speaker. The impedance of a speaker changes with the frequency so SVS just used something that would give would give a constand load.

OK Frankie, now I understand.

Thanks for the info.
