Pioneer Sub question

[slick327 10+ year member]

Ok guys, what is the best sub i can get in my car for the best price? ....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif J/K I'm looking into buying either the Kenwood KFC-W3012 or the Pioneer TS-W308D2|D4. Both are 400 RMS. Anyway, my question is what does the D2/D4 mean on the pioneer speaker? Their website says that they can be either D2: (1 or 4 ohm) D4: (2 or 8 ohm). Sooo, what is the difference? It says its design 2 and design 4 but is that the same speaker? It show no difference if number if it is. Heres the link to the sub http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/CarAudioVideo/Subwoofers/Champion/TS-W308D2%7CD4?tab=A

Any clarification will be much appreciated. And any thoughts on the two subs in comparison would be nice too. thanks in advance.

D2= Dual voice coil, 2ohm each. D4...

Thats the impedance of the voice coil. Which model you need depends on the amp you have.

Ahhhh, so it is two different subs. Ok, i guess i figured 1 would cost different but i guess not. So i'll probably get the 4 ohm. Next on my list is a solid amp to run it. Thanks for the help

These pioneers have 2 voice coil options:

Dual 2 ohm subs (D2) give either 1 ohm (parallel) or 4 ohm (series) final impedance.

Dual 4 ohm subs (D4) give either 2 ohm (parallel) or 8 ohm (series) final impedance.

If you have more than 1 sub, the options increase. How many subs are you going to run?

Generally, you should pick the configuration that allows your amp to produce the most power. What is your amp?
