Due to less impedance, the MS-8 will put roughly 2x as many WATTS into a 2 ohm driver than a 4 ohm driver....but its the same voltage (unlike for example the JL HD series). So for MS-8 a 94dB/w/m speaker (97dB/2.83v/m @ 4 ohms) like the DLS424 will be louder than say the Kappa 42.9i (2.83V @1m)- 93 dB; even though the MS-8 will be able to deliver more watts to the latter.
