2ohms/4ohms

shanmag Bronze Member Username: Shanmag Post Number: 21 Registered: Jun-05	Posted on Tuesday, June 07, 2005 - 12:24 GMT is there any difference in sound between a 2ohm sub and a 4ohm sub? if the amp can take both, which is more recommended?

An amp might put out 400 watts rms at 4 ohms, but wired at 2 ohms, it will put out 800 watts rms. Ohms doesn't really effect the way the sub sounds.
shanmag Bronze Member Username: Shanmag Post Number: 25 Registered: Jun-05	Posted on Tuesday, June 07, 2005 - 13:38 GMT ok cos im planning on getting a jl slash 1000.1 and it says it can take 2ohm or 4ohm. so if i get 2 500W subs (either alpine type r or kicker cvr), would it be better of getting a 2ohm or 4ohm?

taylor17 Gold Member Username: Taylor17 Kopperl, Texas Post Number: 1987 Registered: Jan-05	Posted on Tuesday, June 07, 2005 - 13:57 GMT Jl amps put out 1000 watts rms at 11V to 14V, and from 1.5 ohms to 4 ohms. It doesn't really matter what ohms they are. I'd go with the 2 ohm though... no real reason.

taylor17 Gold Member Username: Taylor17 Kopperl, Texas Post Number: 1991 Registered: Jan-05	Posted on Tuesday, June 07, 2005 - 14:11 GMT If they can handle 500 watts rms... then there the new ones. I like them a lot... that should sound sweet!
