Anonymous | im new to the whole car audio thing and i need to know a few things before i get my stuff installed. do u wire ure amp at a certain amount of ohms? or is there an adjustment that changes it? when u buy 4 ohm subwoofers do u have to have the amp at 4ohms? is ure amp meant to run at 4ohms so that it's stable and has less of a load? if the amp is giving out more than the speaker rms does it cause wear on the speakers? thanks |
