M mindensweetness 10+ year member Junior Member 26 0 Detroit May 7, 2002 #3 ohms means resistence or work done by asystem. The less ohms the more power(watts). ie: If your running like 600w at 4 ohm, then at 2 ohm it should or nearly double like 1000w. When looking at amps. You need to know what ohm their stable. The less ohm you wire subs at the more power subs will pull from the amp. ie: if you wire a 2 ohm stable amp at 1 ohm the amp won't take it. this is just a general look at it. Can get mor complicated.
