[QUOTE="Phatmat, post: 5620894, member: 607297"] I know that the Kicker CompVR is a dual 2 Ohm voice coil. So my wiring options are either 1Ohm or 4Ohms when bridged. Though, I can get a 2 channel amp, with each channel at 190W RMS @ 2 Ohm and 125 W RMS @ 4 Ohm. My other option for an amp is a mono block, 500w RMS at 2 Ohm and 300w RMS at 4 Ohm. I'm wondering, since the CVR is a dual 2 ohm at 400w RMS, does this mean each coil is 2 Ohms @ 200w RMS? So would you recommend that I run the dual voice coil sub with a dual or bridged connection? e.g. 300w 4 Ohm bridged or 190w @ 2Ohm x 2? Also, if anyone knows, why don't many people (maybe it's just people I know) run their subs at 2Ohms, why do most run at 4Ohms even though there is less power into the sub? Is there less frequency response or something? [/QUOTE]
