Can Someone Explain The Ohms Thing To Me


Recommended Posts

Posted

ohms are the resistance of the sub and the electrical current. depending on your sub if you have a dual or single voice coil and the amount of speakers you have you can wire them differently to make a certian ohm. the lower the ohm the more power you can make but the harder you amps have to work. most amps like around 2 ohms some 1 ohm mono. i would go to www.rockfordfosgate.com and go to the woofer wiring wizard it will make things a little clearer with diagrams. for 2400 watts i would recommend the kicker 2500.1 never really messed with one but know a few people that own one and have never really had much problems with it. if you have dual voice coils you can make your subs 2 ohm which is what this amp is made for and if single voice coil you can parallel them and make it 2 ohms as well.

ok so now i have a 4ohm 1200 watt pioneer hooked up to a fosgate punch 250... Would it still kick harder if i added another 12?

I believe the woofers you have are rated at 1200w max and iirc 400rms?
