[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 2144841, member: 561023"] Could you elaborate a bit more on what happened in the past regarding your bad experience running something at 2 Ohms? The Type R is a dual voice coil driver. If you get the Dual 2 Ohm model then your wiring options are wiring the coils in parallel for a 1 Ohm load (which that amp isn't designed to run at safely if I recall correctly) or in series for a 4 Ohm load. If you get the Dual 4 Ohm version then in parallel you'll have a 2 Ohm load (where your amp makes the most power) or in series you'll have an 8 Ohm load (which will cause your amp to output around 200 watts which will not do a Type R any justice at all) [/QUOTE]
