6 ohm amp?

[Moocow16 10+ year member]

I'm a little confused. I want to buy 2 W10GTi's and a box for them, but i don't want to until I know i can hook them up. They are 6ohm subs, but cars run at 4 ohm's right? how would i get a 6 ohm load, get a 6 ohm amp?

I would highly suggest reading thru some of the other posts here on Ohms....there is a mass amount of posts and information on the subject here already. You will not find a 6ohm amp anywhere as far as I know and or have seen. But it boils down to how you will wire the speakers etc......

Most car audio amps produce maximum power at 2 or 4 ohms. Example: amp puts out 200 watts at 2 ohms, 100 watts at 4 ohms, 75 watts at 6 ohms, 50 watts at 8 ohms. Any amp will be happy with a 6 ohm load. It just might produce more power at 4 or 2 ohms.
