[QUOTE="SlickNick, post: 4879196, member: 597045"] I agree. Ohms are a measure of resistance. If you hooked a voltage tester with resistance capablities, you could change the reading on the meter by simply pressing on the subwoofer cone. The AMP is what isn't stable. You have to choose between the amp or the subs. It was easier for me to run my subs together in parallel at the box so that I only have to run one speaker wire to my amp which is under my seat. Try getting an amp that is stable at 1 ohm so that if your subs ever blow, you'll have a lot of flexibility as to what subs you can replace them with. When you wire subs together, make sure you know if they are single or dual voice coil subs. I am definitely willing to help you but if all else fails, take the specs of the subs to a car audio shop and they will pick a good amp out for you that will work. [/QUOTE]
