Bronze Member Username: Jcgoal33Post Number: 28 Registered: Dec-04 | it looks like a pretty good sub all the info on it looks pretty good 20hz is pretty low for a 4 ohm subwoofer it would be a better sub if it were 2 ohms but yes its a decent sub should give u some pretty deep bass if its in the right box. |
sublime420 Unregistered guest | cool. thanx. |

Bronze Member Username: Jcgoal33Post Number: 29 Registered: Dec-04 | no ohms make a big diffrence actually the dbs and the hz are totally diffrent at diffrent ohms and when i switch from 2 ohms to 4 in my truck its a huuuggggeee difrence |
Anonymous | maybe cuz with 2 ohms you are getting more watts with your amp?? i always thought it didnt make a difference ..so confused |
sublime420 Unregistered guest | thats only because ur amp puts out more watts at 2 ohms than it would at 4 ohms. i dont think ohms makes any difference. as long as its the same RMS. |
sublime420 Unregistered guest | bret. ur a dumb a$$ |
Bronze Member Username: Jcgoal33Post Number: 30 Registered: Dec-04 | alright so ur telling me a 2000 watt amp that can be run at 4 or 2 ohms has more wattage when in 2 ohms? |
sublime420 Unregistered guest | thats exactly what im saying. |
Bronze Member Username: Cb9869Post Number: 35 Registered: Jul-04 | the watts at 2 ohms will be higher then the watts at 4 ohms. Example: The JBL BP1200.1 puts out 600W at 4 ohms, and 1200w at 2 ohms. |
Bronze Member Username: Jcgoal33Post Number: 32 Registered: Dec-04 | im getting out of this argument im not saying ur wrong and im not saying im right all i said that started this whole thing is the sub would be better if it were 2 ohms and that is true no matter wut way u look at it |
sublime420 Unregistered guest | no its not. cuz my existing amp puts out 200rms @ 4 ohms. thats all that sub can take. if it were 2 ohms then my amp would probly f*ck it up. |

I agree that a sub must be matched to it's amplifier for the proper power requirement. I disagree that this is best done at 2 ohms, the only benefit in that area is that you save money. An amplifier will have lower distortion, more headroom, better damping, higher signal to noise, and overall better SQ when running a higher impedance. For SQ, 4 ohms would win the day. The key is giving the sub it's required power, and this can be done at any impedance if you match it right. |
