What type of speaker, or speakers do you want to run? (sub, subs, or front and rear) What is the rms rating, ohm rating, and number of coils of the speakers you want to run? Finally, how much do you want to spend? |

And another question, which one is better having your subs at 2 ohms or 4 ohms? |

Silver Member Username: JohnnylemoineLaPlace, Louisiana United States Post Number: 227 Registered: Aug-04 | yes it can be wired any way you want, the wiring really depends on your subs voice coils and if the amp is stable at whatever ohm load you want. Usually less ohms means more power though, what amp didyou get those specs from? |
