[QUOTE="Colin+M, post: 2111702, member: 565248"] if you want a final 2 ohm load, you would need a Dual 4 ohm subwoofer. Amps "usually" make more power at the lower ohm load(less resistance = more power) The exception being amps that make the same power at 1-4 ohms( PG xenon, JL, JBL Crown's etc). Amps usually run hotter and pull more current at lower ohm loads and sometimes are less efficient. To answer your question, You need a Dual 4 ohm sub to get a final load of 2 ohms to your amplifier. And most amps make more power at 2 ohms vs. 4 ohms. [/QUOTE]
