No way to know without you telling us the brand and model of the subs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

and also another question....what does "ohms" mean?

An "ohm" is a measure of resistence.

What this means to us; For a given impedance (ohm), the amplifier you use is going to output a certain amount of power. So, we need to know the impedance (ohms) of the subwoofer(s) so we will know how much power the amplifier will output.

What impedance are your subwoofers?
