or would it be worth springing the lil bit of extra cash for the 15"'s?????

it depends on what ohm the subwoofer is if you have 2 4-ohm subs you can wire it parallel to make it a 2-ohm load. i would highly recommend a sub/mono block power amp. perhaps the mtx audio thunder81000D is really nice one.

he hasnt bought anything yet.... thats why we wanna know, i was thinking two 2 ohm subs wired in series, would give a 2 ohm load on the amp right?

wired in a series two 2-ohm subs would make a 4-ohm load. which the amp i recommended will push easy. but i would go with 2 2 ohm subs it sounds louder

With two 4 ohm subs you can get: series/series = 16 ohm load. parallel/parallel = 1 ohm load, or series/parallel = 4 ohm load.

With two 2 ohm subs you can get: series/series: 8 ohm load. parallel/parallel = .5 ohm load. series/parallel = 2 ohm load.

Let me know if you need in-depth instructions on how to wire one of the above options.

but i would go with 2 2 ohm subs it sounds louder

nope you two 2 ohm subs would make a 2 ohm load wired in a series you asked but it would actually make a 4 ohm load. amp mtx audio thunder81000D head unit pioneer

i would recomend 15's but see what kind of space youre dealing with first

 

[stevert_2003 10+ year member]

[motoxstud 10+ year member]
