Skullz Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Better to start with the ohm load you want to go with and consider the options from there as to what to look at and buy.

bumonskateboard6 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Uh....Match RMS ratings from sub to amp, chose based on companies you like, good reviews you've heard, and what matches your budget. If you don't know how to do that then you don't know "everything about installation and most things car audio".

Low voltage doesn't blow amps. That's a myth. A router that does the sub holes makes rounded edges also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you get the right voice coil configuration, the right amplifier to put out the right amount of clean unclipped signals, the right subwoofer for your application, etc...

Sammitch0 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 The lower the ohm load the better I always say I'd aim for 1-2ohms tops nothing higher nothing lower, personally 2ohm is going to be easier to shop for on a budget since dual 2's tend to be more money and harder to find.
