Ohms Question

[MTX J30]

im buying these two subs and this box from this guy. but what does dual 4 ohms mean? would i be able to get a good amp that could power these for around 200 dollars? are these good subs? also what are grills the third thing he says hes selling?

lol, what are you buying? Dual 4 means 2 voice coils at 4 ohms each giving you the option to wire it at 2 ohms or 8 each.

if you were to wire each sub separately, you can get a 2 ohm load or an 8 ohm load.

but if you were to wire them together, you can get a 1 ohm load or a 4 ohm load

edit: get an amp that is rated at 1 ohm and close to the RMS rating of both subs combined (ex: 400rms for one sub + 400rms for the other sub = get an 800rms amp)

are they good subs for that price. also what are grills.

Ya, they are good subs. And you can wire them down to 1 ohm, so look for a 1 ohm stable amp. The good thing about these subs is that they are really responsive meaning you don't need alot of power to run them. I would be on the look out for a class D mono block amp that is 1 ohm stable somewhere around 500-800 RMS just to be on the safe side

grills are just plastic covers that go over the sub for "looks", but i think they look like crap imo.
