What ohms are the subs/What ohms do you want to run at?

So you have two subs. Are they dual voice coil? What ohms are the voice coils on each sub?

Hey Jimmy,

You could wire them like this:
Upload

And then buy an amp like this:

At under $200 it is very hard to find an amp that

A) Is 1 ohm stable
B) Puts out near your RMS at 4 ohms.

Phoenix Gold makes solid amps for the money and they generally bench above the rated output, so you should be good to go with the above setup.

Hey,
Thanks,Brad.
That helps out alot.A stupid question,tho.This now means that when I see an amps rating at 4 ohms,RMS,that this is what EACH of these speakers are getting??The dual voice coil thing really throws me.Oh,can anybody tell me if my rating is 250 watts,what watt amp I can go with??How good are Lanzar amps????
Thanks.

fisrt off when you do this without starting your own thread it is calld hijacking and most guys on here wont even respond to you after you do that so dont do it. I will answer you this one time but from now on start your own thread, this goes for you to Davis Pittman. Just cut the wire where it is connected and take it out. Is it connected with butt connectors? if so cut it, tape it up and take the radio out.
