use that for ohms starting out. helps ya know what subs to get.

It depends on how many type R's you want to run

number of subs :

one you need a dual 4

two you need dual 2's

three you need dual 4's you might could run dual 2's but risky....

four you need dual 4's

what if your speaker doesn't have 4 speaker wire terminals what if it just has 2? IDK

I have two and they are 4 ohm wired to 1 ohm...so whats the deal with that?

what if i have a 4 ch amp and have 2 12" dualvoice subs and i bridge the amp(200wattx2@4ohm) how would i wire them then?

the amp he picked is rated at 2 ohm mono...though I've heard of some 750.1's running fine at 1ohm mono...there are many that have saw magic smoke at 1ohm mono....

you would need either 4ohm single voice coils or 2 ohm dual voice coils to wire a pair to that amp
