Re: Ohm question (RUBZERK)

depends on your setup. how many subs. how will they be wired. what kind of amp. how much power can it give in what load?

No, the only difference is the impedence. The one right for you would depend on your amplifier. "Generally" speaking a two ohm speaker will allow you to extract more power out of your amplifier. A DVC 2 ohm speaker wired in parallel will make a 1 ohm load to your amplifier.

What amplifier do you intend to use? Do you intend to run it in stereo or mono?
