[QUOTE="iceteebone, post: 804513, member: 549344"] well rms is the true measure of watts. it is what a speaker can handle continuosly or what an amp produces continuosly. peak is the most watts it can put out on a good day when lightning strikes so just leave peak watts off of your vocabulary. the 4ohm+ 4 ohms is referring to voice coil impedence. dual single etc. is not better then any others. it's just so you can wire them differently to an amp. an amp puts out different power at different ohms (well most do) so you get the voice coil configuration that bestmatches up with the amp. read the sticky in the wiring forum for wiring diagrams. in this case, that sub can be wired at 2 ohms or 8 ohms. you would then want to get an amp that has an rms rating at 2 ohms, that is close to the rms rating of the sub. oh yea i forgot SEARCH!!!
