[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 2374265, member: 549629"] Ohms is a measure of resistance, sometimes called impedance. An electrical circuit is a closed loop path in which the electrons flow from the anode to the cathode (pos and neg). The measure of ohms is how much resistance the speaker places on the electrical circuit.. In other words, how much the speaker resists the flow of electrons, which is dictated by the voice coil windings. The only 'best' impedance is the one that best fits your needs. You buy an amp, its only stable down to a certain impedance, running below it will overheat the amplifier. Basically, find the model of sub you want, figure out the impedance options you can buy that sub in, then go out and find an amplifier that makes its maximum output level at one of those imepdances. Viola, amplifier and speaker(s) are matched together. [/QUOTE]
