[QUOTE="sjv13, post: 7922182, member: 632245"] Never worry about asking too many questions; that's what a forum is for. If we didnt want to help you, we wouldnt be here. Obsidian will perform just fine for you. Your friend is right about kicker. They are a mainstream brand. Yes, they sell some stuff at wal-mart for $50-100. But they also sell some $480 subs. D2 means that it is Dual Voice Coil (DVC) and each voice coil is 2ohms. You need to match the number of ohms to how much power your amp will put out at that resistance (ohms are a measure of resistance in a flow of power). DVC 2-ohm subs are generally used in applications where you will be running two subs, because they can be wired in such a way that the amp sees a 2 ohm load (where most amps put out the most power). You should look for a DVC-4ohm sub. A single DVC-4ohm sub can be wired in such a way that the amp will see 2 ohms. [/QUOTE]
