Re: sub in ohms

depends on your amp. but for speakers 4 ohms is usally better and with subs it does not matter.

Re: sub in ohms

a lower ohm value means the speaker has less resistance and will make your amp push more power. it is all application dependant.

Re: sub in ohms

Just wait till you get into the multiple voice coils.

I love wiring flexibility.

Don't ever look at cars as just imports or domestics. Just because a car is made in a certain country doesn't mean that it is anything like another car from that country. An example of this is Mitsubishi reliability, just because they are Japanese doesn't mean that they are as reliable as a Honda or Toyota.

Re: sub in ohms

you make the sun 1 ohm by wiring the two voice coils in parallel.
