[QUOTE="Elitemafia, post: 704885, member: 559005"] I recently bought a new Kicker KX 800.2 and I was looking into purchasing 2 12" cvr's they are 4ohms, but say 2 ohm optional... I am retarded with car audio so I don't understand how a 4 ohm sub could be 2 ohm optional. Here are the specs for that amp. I don't want to run it at 4 ohms with an rms of only 200 watts so I want to be sure that 4 ohms subs with a 2 ohm option can be run at 400 watts to each sub. Or should I run it at 1ohm bridged to each sub? In other words which subs will I get the most power out of. Sorry if I sound like an idiot, but this stuff is really new to me. RMS Power at 4 ohms - 200 x 2 Freq Response - 20 - 20k Hz THD/RMS Power - 0.085% The Signal to Noise Ratio - 95 DB Amps input Voltage -13.8v The Peak Power Output - 400 x 2 Power at 2 Ohms 400 x 2 Bridged Power at 4 ohms - 800 x 1 [/QUOTE]
