should i get a 2 or a 4ohm sub

Depends on your setup - if you are going to use it just for sub then 4 ohm, if you are going to use it multi channel, then 2 ohm. Caution, this amp shuts down easily when "overloaded" or too much current is drawn.

A "dual 4 ohm voice coil" subwoofer will pull more power from the 5th channel.

Basically depends on the rest of your system and its output. The amp drives more wattage through a 2 ohm sub, so you need to balance what you want. Also, be aware of the sub's rms limts, since it's easy to run this amp at full rms output because of its very low distortion. I run an Infinity Kappa 10" sub set for 2 ohms in a custom enclosure, and it absolutely pounds the bottom end! Hope this helps.

You need to stick with the same ohms. If you go with 4 or 6 ohm, you will transfer less power to the sub and it will sound bad.

The 2 ohm will take more power thus being able to run a higher watt amp but you are sacrificing sound quality for volume, the 4 ohm is no slouch, it has to use a slightly lower wattage amp but has much higher sound quality, your bass will be sharper and cleaner with the 4 ohm.

whats your price range? you'd want a little more than 2k rms because you have to factor in box rise. Wiring down to one ohm wont necessarily give you 1 ohm, you'll get around 1.4 ohms in reality. I'd get a crescendo BC 2000, audioque 2200D or an american bass vfl 4480.1D

Well the impendance is very important to have correctly matched between the sub and amp. Since your amp is for 2 ohms, you need a 2 ohm sub. Or get a 4 ohm amp to be comparable with this sub

You can only wire your subs 1 or 4 ohms with dual 4ohm voice coils. If dual 2 ohm you can can .5, 2, or 8 ohm load. 1 ohm this amp will put out way over what you subs can handle. I have 2 12s on this amp wired at 2 ohm load and slams hard. My subs are 2,200 peak and im pushin 1,500 r.m.s. to each sub in ported box tuned to 38 hz. For your subs id either find a smaller amp thats around 1,000-1,200 rms at 1ohm or get different subs. This amp is no joke and is a beast

Any amp under 2000 watts will work great. I have a 250 tma pushing my two and they sound awsome. Either 2 or 4 ohm will work just depends on what u like be careful.

You can find various ways to wire 3 subs online. I have 2 wired to 1 ohm, but not sure about 3

Depends on the watts of the subs. Personally, I would go with something current. Do some research and try to get the most outta your subs. They push my cheepo 12s nice.

4ohm dual voice coil. Meaning it u have just 1 Sub. It can only be wired at 8ohm or bridge it at the voice coils. To get a 2ohm. . If u have 2 speakers. U can wire at 4 an 1ohm.

This will do the trick with the right electrical n wire the two sub's down to 1,ohm this will do rated n ur sub's will sound amazing!!!

you can run the two subs in series and have both subs get 400watts. Only if Your amp is 2 ohm stable.

I'm no expert, and don't know what they mean by 4 ohm topology. Generally, the 4 ohm amp would be underpowered trying to drive 2 ohm speakers. Should be ok at low to moderate volume but high volume could overheat the amp. You should ask on a car stereo forum.

If you are only running one sub I would get the DVC 2 ohm sub and wire it down to run a 1 ohm load instead of the DVC 4 ohm sub you have listed. That sub when wired singlely will produce a 2 ohm load. It is easier to find a reasonibly priced 1 ohm 600+ watt 1 ohm amp than a 2 ohm amp. Personally I wouldn't run much more than 800 watts RMS to that sub, it can handle more but it is rated at 600 watts. The difference in actual sound difference in 600 watts and say 1000 watts isn't very much, doubling the wattage doesn't double the output like a lot of people think. When you start running 1000+ watts you need to strait upgrading your electrical in your car. For a daily driver 600-800 watts RMS of clean power is all you will need.

One or two subs and 2 ohm or 4 ohm voice coils your best bet is to get a 1ohm stable amp you will get your best bang for your buck kicker is OK I run Memphis they rock just make sure you have at least 1000 rms

Depends on how you wire them up. Perallel or in series. I have my single wired in Perallel which dropped it to 2 ohms and I am powering it with a Audiobahn A8000M that has a peak of 2200 watts and an RMS of 1100 watts. It sounds amazing. So if I were to power two subs I'd get a 2000 watt peak power 2 channel amp and bridge it at least.

And ya like Ray said.... If you're getting two pairs, you should get a 4 ch amp. If only one pair, a 2 ch will be fine.
