New member Username: Joey3000Post Number: 1 Registered: Jan-06 | I am trying to make sure I purchase the correct sub. I am looking at a 15inch sub. I am only going to have one sub running on a mono amp. The sub comes either 2ohm or 4ohm. Which do I want, and why? Thanks! |

Gold Member Username: TjmutlowPost Number: 1184 Registered: Sep-05 | you need a 1ohm stable amp, Like the kicker 1200.1, orion1200d, memphis 1000d or something along those lines, go to www.ikesound.com and check them out even for a directed amp. |

Post Number: 609 Registered: Jun-05 | I'd avoid a 2 channel, and get a monoblock for a sub, as most stereo amps are class AB, and a lot of the mono amps out there (especially 1 ohm stable ones) are class D, and 80% efficient..so it wont put as much stress on your cars electrical system. |
