[QUOTE="pike110, post: 3096021, member: 568540"] The ohm of a sub doesn't effect the sound of it. A dual 1ohm will sound the same as a dual 2ohm. The short answer to why they come in different ohms is to give you different wiring choices. It depends on the amplifier you are using to power the driver. If you have an amp that is 1 ohm stable then you would most likely want a dual 2ohm sub, so it can be wired to 1 ohm. If you have an amplifier that is only 2ohm stable or even .5 ohm stable you would want a dual 1 ohm sub. I guess what I'm saying is know what kind of amplifier you want to drive the sub and then you can make your choice on the voice coil configuration or the sub. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
