[QUOTE="Mike P, post: 8897920, member: 693551"] Good afternoon. It's been almost 30 years since I messed with car audio and a lot has changed! I have a general question regarding subwoofers and amps. I'm purchasing/installing two (2) 10 inch DVC subs in a down firing box in my son's 2017 Silverado Double Cab. The subs are rated for 400 watts RMS (200 per coil). The choice for subs comes in a 4 ohm and 2 ohm variety. It was recommended that I purchase the 4 ohm subs and then a 750 watt mono amp that is 750 watts RMS x1 at 1 ohm. My question is whether it's better to buy the amp as described above and wire the speakers to handle the 1 ohm load, or just look for a two channel 4 ohm amp that delivers 400 watts per channel at 4 ohms? I thought I read somewhere that it's always better to match the ohms..... ie) 4 ohm sub with a 4 ohm amp output. Any help is appreciated and I apologize if this is a repeated question.
