[QUOTE="MyOneSub, post: 8375550, member: 663124"] Each sub is a single 4 ohm subwoofer. The ohm thing is a little hard to explain, but here's a link that explains it: [URL="http://knowledge.sonicelectronix.com/tools/subwoofer-wiring/#prettyPhoto"]Subwoofer Wiring Diagrams | Sonic Electronix[/URL]. When you wire the two subs to an amp, you should get a 2 ohm load on the amp.
