Roughly, half, though not exactly. Here's a formula... 1. Ohm's Law deals with the relationship between voltage and current in an ideal conductor. This relationship states that: The potential difference (voltage) across an ideal conductor is proportional to the current through it. The constant of proportionality is called the "resistance", R. Ohm's Law is given by: V = I R where V is the potential difference between two points which include a resistance R. I is the current flowing through the resistance.

Farview Well-known member Feb 12, 2006 #3 How are you getting 14 ohms? 16 ohms (much more common) will give you 100 watts. You won't notice a volume difference all things being equal.
