[QUOTE="qtipextra, post: 1310513, member: 555270"] This post is quite possibly the best, most useful, most helpful first post anyone has ever posted! Well done! To original poster: this is correct. A sub doesnt take ohms, it not a power rating. A sub has a resistence, like when I push you, how hard u try and "resist" that push. That is measured by ohms. I think u know about power rating, in watts. The amount of power from your amp depends on how hard your sub tries to push it back, in a sence. So when u have less resistence, say 1 ohm, your amp can "push" more power to your sub(s). If you have more resistence, say 4 ohms, then your amp can't push and send as much power to your subs. So it all depends on the way u wire your sub, or subs. To figure the ohm load, u use ohms law, which I will not go into. The more subs, or the more voice coils, the more ways u can wire them to get different ohm loads, so u can build your system the way u prefer, and to get the most potential out of your amp, and meet your amp requirements, because not all amps are are stable below 2 ohms.
