[QUOTE="phyphoestilic, post: 2111697, member: 569258"] [URL="http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard.asp"]http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard.asp[/URL] have fun with it, It doesnt really matter, higher ohms is more resistance, which usually puts alot less stress on the amp. It does matter which sub/speaker/amps u buy, because there's alot of differnet quality builts. For amps look for low THD which would be most useful for SQ (sound quality) setup. Which I am thinking u will be diong since its a limo. U can wire speakers/subs together to one channel on an amp for a differnt load, ie. check the differnet setups with the link I provided. Say if u have a dual 4ohm subwoofer u can wire it to 2 or 8 ohm load on the amp. Usually on speakers its single voice coil, so if ur planning to hook just that speaker up to the amp it will be whatever ohm load it says on the speaker (4 ohm speaker hooked onto an amp will be getting the 4ohm power out from the amp). Thats the basics of it, if u look around the forums I think u'll find alot of other useful information. [/QUOTE]
