My car is at the shop today getting everything installed. The guy doing it is a friend of a friend and i know he knows his sh!t for the most part...I called him this morning to go over a couple things and the only thing that worried me is he was asking me where i got the box because dual voice coil subs usually need separate chambers in the box...

i have NEVER heard of that before...is he just totally confused on that?

then also when i told him i needed them wired down to 1 ohm (they're dual 4ohm) he gave me somewhat of a vague answer... he said "oh yeah don't worry we'll wire them to get maximum power"...and i was like "that's 1 ohm right?" and he said "oh yeah don't worry"....i think at this point he was just slightly annoyed cuz i was bossing him around lol. but how can i check the impedance when i pick up my car?

Pop the subs out and look at how he wired them.

If you dont wanna take them out and have a DMM you can just put it on there to see what you get.

Thats chamber thing I have never heard about so Im guessing it is just some BS. DMM stands for Digital Multi Meter.

yeah that dual chamber is crap, i think single chambers are a little louder anyway.

i would personally just take the subs out of the box to look at the wiring
