And what is the difference between 2 ohm or 4 ohm? Is one louder? One clearer sound?

Apples and oranges.

Id is sq.

Kicker is spl.

Lol I'm a noob

What is sq and spl?

 

[iceberg65 10+ year member]

sound quality, and sound pressure level (volume)

im slow

A dual 2 ohm driver can be wired down to 1 ohm, thus extracting more watts out of an amp, or 4 ohms to extract less.

A dual 4 ohm driver can be wired down to 2 ohms, or 8 ohms.

The higher the ohms, the less you will extract.

spl = loudness, not emphasising on sound quality.

sq = emphasis on how good a driver can sound (subjective)

Okay thanks for the help

What one would you guys go for?

Will the kicker still sound good or is it just super loud booms that sound like shit

just because they are loud doesnt mean they are gonna sound like shit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

and it depends on what kind of music you listen to.

Other than your wiring configurations being correct, your other statements are not always true.

You're being too vague. Not every amp is designed to produce more power at a lower impedance, and a higher impedance is NEVER a bad thing, as long as you have your desired power level, it will work just the same.

500 watts @1 ohm is still 500 watts @ 4ohms, the difference is, at a higher impedance, the amp is requiring less current to produce the power, so it will run cooler, and more times than not, more efficiently as well.
