What are ohms?
How do you know Coobies is right?
I'd tell you that you need to use a sub with 2-ohm dual voice coils hooked up to a 4-ohm amp since there are two voice coils at 2-ohms each, or 4-ohms total, otherwise your sub will be overpowered by your speakers.
Am I giving you good advice or will your hardware fry as soon as you power on? If you understand the concepts behind what you're trying to do (I'm assuming you're trying to upgrade your stereo), you'll be much better off.
Don't be a mindless follower... research, learn and decide for yourself.

does no one realize that these questions are asked everyday and people provided links for someone to help themselves and tried to answer the part of the question that they knew the answer for and left a link with the right answers that they couldnt help with and he came back sounding like a jerk about it? now we are the bad guys? sounds backwards.
Ohms are magical creatures that everyday people try to capture and understand. Some how it has become the concept of what makes current flow. And without it the world would come to a screeching halt.
The ohms fall inbetween the realm of fairies and buildings that you cant see. Whether or not these beings can alter the course of the sound in your car is up to certain chemicals and receptors in your brain. Most people will not understand and be able to pick up the changes in pressure at the different rates. But a blessed few may.
Now running these things in certain ways can make other beings happy or destructive is up to you and how you treat them.
Confused yet? Maybe you ought to learn. An old proverb "Give a man a fish, feed him once. Teach him to fish, feed him forever."

yeah i'm going to have to agree with you, on taking others people word on here anymore.
That said, I've seen people give out information that is plain wrong. They didn't give it with the intention of causing harm, they were just misinformed. I suppose there are probably people out there who would take pleasure in screwing people over and might give bad advice on purpose.
People need to take personal responsibility to educate themselves so they can solve their own problems. Nobody likes being called ignorant, yet many people choose to remain ignorant instead of trying to learn and grow.

i am agreeing with you again, people are people and its human nature to make mistakes. be it ill informed or just forgetful. i still respect the few on here that do actually know something, but i'll just stick to the more drawn out questions i have for actual reputable people that been in the car audio scene for a majority of their life.
I DONT KNOW WHAT WE ARE YELLING ABOUT!!!!
