[QUOTE="oMiNouSWaNDeReR, post: 2186415, member: 570806"] I had posted this under a different thread but wanted to repost it because it really ended up being a bit off from what the thread topic was, and I couldn't edit the topic name. First off, I really do appreciate the help so far and I'd like to thank the people who actually reply and help out and aren't responding with "you noob shut up" I'm working hard to learn as much as possible. My question is: Everything I've read and seen says that the m650 amp by alpine is only 4ohm or 2ohm, but I had thought that the ohms all depended on how the wires to the subs were run. I've looked at all the different wiring diagrams for running subs at different ohms, but is there more to it than that? Ohms are the one thing that have always confused me about subs and amps and I was hoping to get some more help on understanding how it all worked. I've searched the forums and can't really find anything that's answered all my questions on them. As an example, I have two 12 type r-s and only one m650.
