The 802D2 is not any harder to drive than the 804D2. This means for the same amount of input power the 804D2 and 802D2 will produce about the same level of sound pressure. But the 804D2 does present a slightly more difficult load to drive than the 802D2. This means the amplifier will need to supply more current during peak dissipation frequencies given the same amplitude (volume).
