Ohm Help

[bassrock3r 10+ year member]

Hey guys I have a subwoofer question. Question about OHM.

I'm buying this amp, Polk Audio Class-D amplifier D5000.5, and I want to know if I should get a 4 Ohm or a 2 Ohm subwoofer.

This is the name of the speaker. RE Audio SRX10D4 or RE Audio SRX10D2

I also have 4 speakers.

Thanks.

Also can someone please explain to me what the difference is.

Dual 2 ohm sub >>> can be wired in series to have a final load of 4 ohms or wired in parallel to get a final load of 1 ohm

Dual 4 ohm sub >>> can be wired in series to have a final load of 8 ohms or wired in parallel to get a final load of 2 ohms

Now from looking at the specs on your amp for the sub channel and the sub, either sub will work, I would buy the SRX10D4 and wire it in parallel for a 2 ohm final load, this would allow me to add another sub later if needed.

What 4 speaker do you have?

I can only fit 1 sub into the car. Will it affect the system if I buy the four but hook it up as a 2 ohm?

What 4 speaker do you have?

Infinity Reference 6032cf ii speakers

If the sub channel is 1 ohm get the d2

The 4 Infinity Reference 6032cf will work on the other 4 ch on the amp, one on each channel and wire it normally because it's already 2 ohm load each.

And yes the 1 sub will work fine on the sub channel, and seen that you will only have one sub, then get the dual 2 ohm (RE Audio SRX10D2).

Just curious, what's your budget for the sub? maybe we can suggest something better.

Well the amp is $300. And I'm looking to buy a sub $100

The amp is nice, but I would suggest this DCON 10 Sound Solutions Audio 10" 300W DCON Series Subwoofer - SSA STORE for sub it's a bit more than your budget but it's a very good sub for it's price.

I'm really hooked on the Re Audio sub, since a friend of mine has it. I have a Jeep Wrangler 2 Dr, so its a fairly small car. Is there a bad review about the Re Audio SRX10D2?

It's not bad, just not what it use to be.

Here is some good information that can help you decide what ohm load to run/get subs, and amp needed for you preference.you can bookMark for future reference as well.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/santa.gif.e1ec9cf2e0a0dd232ad35aa594a126d0.gif
