[QUOTE="absavino, post: 6273599, member: 613922"] Hi, Here is what I have: Amp = Kicker ZX400.1 4ohm mono = 200 x 1, 2ohm mono = 400 x 1 Speaker = Kicker CVR10 2ohm per coil 400 RMS (dual) When I purchased these, I thought amp 2ohm 400 x 1 = speaker 2ohm @ 400, these should then match. I then read that the both coils must be connected to a source of amplification. When in parallel, 1ohm load is generated and when in series a 4ohm load is produced. None of these speaker setups produce the 2ohm that I was wanting so the amps match the speaker. What would be the best configuration? If I wired the speakers to 1ohm what effect would the amp have since it only states 4 ohm and 2 ohm mono? I could do the 4ohm speaker setup and then the amp will put out 200 RMS at 4ohm but I worry that the speaker would be under powered. Any help or recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you.
