ohm

whats the difference between the 2 ohm and 4 ohm 12inch Kicker CVR's?

[Psych0matt]

2 ohms

 

And it's spelled "what".

I thought we were meditating..

Mainly just the Ohm load and how it will interact with your amplifier.

 

If you already have an amp you need to know what its stable to, power output and figure a correct combination to either get the most from your amp, or get the correct amount.

What he said, plus 2 ohm will definitly drive your amp to hit harder, think is the answer your looking for. Hope this helps

thx for the help

Totally depends on what your amp is capable of.

 

If its not suited for a 2 Ohm load and you try giving it 2 Ohms, you probably will have problems.

Almost all amps are 2 OHM stable. And OHMs = Resisitance. The higher the OHM load the higher the resistance is. So at 2 OHMs it takes less power out of the amp to move the sub but more heat is generated. If your running 1 sub I would go with the 2 OHM and hook it up to only 1 channel or bridge it if your amp is 1 ohm stable. When you bridge a sub, it cuts the ohm load in half, when you wire it up it doubles.

Thats an assumption, which is not good. There are PLENTY of 2 channel amps out on the market that are only stable @ 4 Ohms bridged...

 

A 2 Ohm sub is a 2 ohm sub, period. If you take a 2 Ohm sub and wire it to an amp bridged, its still a 2 ohm sub. If you take a dual voice coil 2 ohm subs and parallel it, then run it to an amp bridged, its a 1 Ohm load.

 

The amp doesnt determine the load, the sub does.
