i am running a sony amp XM2165GTXit is 2 or 4 ohm should i get a 2 ohm or 4 ohm subwoofer

It depends on the sound you want your sub to deliver...2 ohm will be a deeper low bass and 4 ohm willl be more overall bass...I prefer a 2 ohm sub...I switch from 4 to 2.

That amp is 4-ohm stable when brigded so if you're only running one sub then you'd get the dual 4 ohm sub, wire it to 8 ohms, then put that onto the brigded amp for a 4 ohm load. If you're running more than one sub the wiring could get tricky since you'd have to run in both parallel and serial wiring configuration. Search for wiring diagrams if you need further clarification.

It will power 4 of ur subs if wired at 1 ohm. Wire ur subs at 2 ohm and ur subs are 1000 rms the amp at 2 ohms is 1300 rms. Its a great amp

4 ohms is the modern standard, and these speakers match that standard. Antique car radios (tube electronics, made before c.1965) may require 3.2 ohms. 2 ohms is for specialty applications (e.g., Bose and some "enclosure-less" subs).

You'll be under powering the sub almost 1000 watts. Cause the amp puts out 1800 watts @4ohms and 2500@ 2 ohms. So if u don't already have a sub, try a 2 ohm one it should work better.

This is a dual coil sub so I'm assuming it is 2 ohms if you run the two coils in parallel and 8 ohms each side. This doesn't quite work out, you're right, as it should be two 4 ohm coils (which is how I see it described on sites that sell it) that in parallel is 2 ohms or in series is 8 ohms. I built my own box to the sealed box specs (remarkably small) and am driving it in stereo (though my head unit has a dedicated sub setting for outputs which may sum to mono on its own) with a 1000watt stereo amp and I assumed it was 4ohm per side. It sounds amazing in my little car, as a matter of a fact it took me forever to get the sub balanced with the rest of the system because it is amazingly efficient so I kept turning down the sub out as well as the amp trim and finally settled on running it with a 150hz cutoff instead of 75hz. Hope this helps.

Depends on your budget, but these are budget starter subs, so something light life 600rms so like 300 watts a piece n 2 ohms if possible you wouldn't get all your wattage @ 4ohm but 4 ohms is the safest for these speakers "cant" take constant beating

Dude any amp will work with your subs but I'd you want the most power wire your subs to one ohm. I have two infinity 12 inch dual voice cola hooked up to this running one ohm resistance and it's so loud it out powers my speakers if I crank it

Best way is to wire subs together and get a good 2 channel amp that can handle a 1 ohm load. If you call power acoustik they can help but you'll be wiring positive to positive and negative to negative making the subs run at 1 ohm. you're going to have to get one hell of an amplifier to pushall four of those subs. I had a BAMF4000/1D just to push one sub

It should be fine as long as your subwoofers are 4 ohm. The amp is 2 ohm stable and in fact supplies greater amperage at 2 ohms

the higher the ohms the less it will stress out your stereo so if its made for 4 ohms which requires more power i dont see why it should matter unless you were installing lower 2ohms for example will pull more from your amp or stereo might overheat it

For more bass, you definitely want less resistance with the 2 ohms. Just make sure the rms is correct for it. You want to get all you can out of the amp.

For that I'll get the 2 Ohm. But you can get the 4 Ohm and Put only 2 ohm later get a 2000 watt amp and put the 4 Ohm I'll do that maybe what you think? Thus that answer your question Alex

Hi! you can run 2x2ohms but make sure you dont bridge them because you will be running a 1ohm load and most 2 channel Amps are not stable at 1 ohm and will overheat. Connect sub 1 to channel 1 and sub 2 to channel 2 and you will be running a 2ohm load. hope this helps you out. Cheers

Ohm depends on your speakers. 2 (4ohm speakers) wired in parallel drop your ohm load to 2 ohms or 1 duel voice coil subwoofer with 4 ohm coils wired in parallel.

How many voice coils do you have that amp works well at 2ohm or 4ohm. If your sub is dual voice coils it can be wired down to a lower ohm so you can pull the max RMS/watts from the amp

Two pairs, A & B, plus ONE SUBWOOFER. 8 OHM speakers are advised, lower than 8 will increase the likelihood of overheating in the amplifier. In addition, read up on wire gauge to be sure you use the correct wire to minimize heat buildup.

Well this subwoofers are 4 ohms , and your average home audio systems are 8 ohms so I won't recommended for home audio.
