Psych0matt Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 2 ohms And it's spelled "what". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan from Ohio Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 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.

TGP5sp90 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 What he said, plus 2 ohm will definitly drive your amp to hit harder, think is the answer your looking for. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan from Ohio Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sclary18 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan from Ohio Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
