[QUOTE="BeesEverywhere!, post: 2374460, member: 571714"] READY FOR THE 10,000,000 DOLLAR ANSWER! keep going........ almost there........ YOU'RE SO CLOSE......... OHM STANDS FOR.............. *****************DRUM ROLL********************* [SIZE=36px]OHM[/SIZE] and to answer your question: There is no best, there is only different. In short (very very short) ohm is a measurement of resistance. changing the ohm's (impedance) of the subwoofer does not change the subwoofer or make it perform any different, but it may allow the amplifier to provide more current to the coil which gives it more power. You want to maximum the amp using the best match impedance. So for example If you your amp does 100 watts at 4 ohms and 200 watts and 2 ohms and it cant do 1 ohm. Do not buy a single 1 ohm sub Do not buy a single 4 ohm sub Buy either a dual 4 ohm sub to wire in parallel to get 2 ohms, or buy a single 2 ohm sub and wire it right up or a dual 1 ohm sub and wire them in series to get 2 ohms. By dual and single I mean VOICE COIL (DVC, SVC) etc etc… HEHE that rhymed [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
