nice, thanks. i guess its rated 600rms, single ohms or dual? i hardly understand half the specs there. kinda a car audio noob if you ask me, but im catching up to the game though. and also need to see if there is a recone kit for it.

its 600 per coil. so 1200rms. if you see 3 specs (such as Z which is ohm load, look at the parallel/series specs and not the lonesome Z specs)

so its a dual ohm. and im able to connect it to 1ohm right?
