[QUOTE="RebelDogg, post: 4482511, member: 591498"] I've been reading contradicting reports on this. At first I thought the ohms rating only had to match the amp and the lower the impedance the more power the sub could draw from the amp. Now I'm reading that higher impedance will give you a tighter bass response. So would a 1000w 8ohm sub with a 1000w 8ohm amp sound better than a 1000w 1ohm sub with a 1000w 1ohm amp? I like SPL fine, but I'm really more in it for SQ. I listen to a lot of fast bass metal, so I need that tight response. The subs I've been looking at are 1000wrms 2ohm DVC or 4ohm DVC. I was going to get (2) 4ohm subs and an amp rated for 2000w@1ohm. Now I'm not sure. [/QUOTE]
