RickyFriery97 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) With two dual 2 ohm speakers You can only get a two Ohm load or a .5 ohm load that amp isint stable at .5 ohm also you would need good electrical to run that low and I don't know what your electrical system consists of so that's why I said two ohms Your speakers will play perfectly fine there as long as you don't have the gain cranked up and clip the speakers Edited March 19, 2011 by RickyFriery97 Quote 2014 Chevy Silverado Crewcab 1994 Chevy Full Size blazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got everything all hooked up just need a damn bit now lol and that question.. Actually.. I got another question. does the wire fully matter for now. I got 8g wire for the subs.. and i ran out of wire to actually run from the amp to the sub terminals. Does it matter if the wires thick.. its 8g but it has like 8 strands.. instead of like 100 little strands.. will that make a difference? plan on buyin some more in the future.. just ran out and keep getting kicked in the ass.
