Big noob question on Ohms, etc....

[TruckAudioMan 10+ year member]

I am a big noob when it comes to car audio, so I know many can answer this question easily. I am getting some FI BL's and was looking at what all you can include. First off, what exactly is the P-chamber??? Another big thing, what is the difference between the 1 Ohm and the 2 Ohm. I have actually wondered that for a while about many different subs. Lastly, what is flatwind and extreme lead? I don't want to make the wrong sub. I want lots of SPL, so much I am debating getting the daily driver. Either way, I am hooking it up to a bass control knob to turn down when I down want my head pounded around. However, this is a vehicle I will be driving almost daily. Anyway, any info on these would be great. Thank in advance....

p chamfer - i believe it's a chamfer on the pole vent.

different ohms give you different loads for your amp. nothing really important, just different options.

flatwind - has to do with the wire wound on the coil. i think it gives you more power handling.

extreme lead - beefier tinsel leads

and the daily option does something with the tolerances, but i'm not sure what exactly is changed
