Noobish Question

The reason you would want different Ohm loads is to maximize your amplifier's capabilities.

If you have (2) Dual 2s for example, you could either wire to .5 ohms, 2 Ohms or 8 ohms (I think). If your amplifier is only stable down to two ohms, you definitely won't be able to wire down to .5 ohms. And if you wire to eight ohms, you may not be getting the wattage you need. But wiring to 2 may get you where you need to be.

It's just analyzing what you need in a sub and buying the amplifier to match (or vice versa).

alright i think i get it... sh

so you want to run less ohms?

no, you want to pick out what ohm load subs, for your amp.

you can't just hook up any sub to any amp and get full power, you want to pick out what subs you want, then what amp you want, then go back and do the ohm loads.

it depends on your amp for the most part, and you want them to match

[str8outtaneb]

so really the ohm loads doesn't matter except when you match amps to subs
