[QUOTE="modskwod, post: 6054866, member: 604186"] All you need to know about ohms is that the lower the ohm rating on the sub, the more power the amp will put out. But, make sure that the amp is "stable" at the combined ohm rating of the subs. If it isn't stable, the amp will go into protect mode, which isn't good. For example: If you have two subs with an ohm rating of 4 ohms, you can either wire them to 8 or 2 ohms. 2 ohms would be beneficial, but only if the amp you have is 2 ohm stable. The amp's website should state at what ohm load it is stable. As long as that amp is stable at 2 ohms, you're fine. I know it's confusing at first, but you'll get it. [/QUOTE]
