[QUOTE="DidUHearThat?, post: 4706449, member: 594758"] Ohms is not a sign of quality or anything. It's just a measurement that must be matched between the speaker and the amp. Apples to apples. Amplifiers are designed to produce their power at a rated ohm load. You want to pick a speaker with the right ohm load to match the amps lowest ohm load. The Audioque amp puts out 1200 watts at 1 ohm, so you need a sub that is rated at 1 ohm to work with that amp. A dual 2 ohm sub has 2 voice coils inside that must be wired in series to produce a 4 ohm load or it can be wired in parallel to produce a 1 ohm load. You would wire it in parallel to get 1 ohm, then it will match that amp perfectly. Bigger subs will produce more bass, with the same amount of power. So a 1000 watt 15" sub will produce alot more bass than a 10" 1000 watt sub. Larger subs also are better at producing lower frequencies; so a 15" will get lower than a 10". [/QUOTE]
