2 ohm or 4 ohm

[d4m4g3 10+ year member]

I was looking at some subs i want to purchase but not sure what is better 2 ohm or 4 ohm

both are dvc and same type and series of speaker yet i see no difference other then the 2 ohm subs go about 2 hz lower then the 4 ohm subs....

So heres my question: What is better a 2 ohm sub or a 4 ohm sub?

also if the subs are from 400- 750 rms rage with a peak of 2000 and i have 2 of the 4 ohm subs what size amp would i need.... im looking to stay in the safe range so im saying 750 watts each.. Do i need something that puts out 1500 watts at 4 ohms or just750 watts at 4 ohms

There is no difference besides your wiring options.

and what would be the best way to wire them...

What kind of subs are they? As far as the amp, there are way better options for half that price.
