help with ohms!
im not good with ohms when it comes to this
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-NVeRLBL...sp?i=575PL2212
would those subs and this amp
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-NVeRLBL...mp;I=489AP1200
if everything was the same ohmage i would be fine i just don't get the ohms
the subs are single voice coil 8 ohms and the amp is 200x2 at 4 ohms?

RE: help with ohms!
As far as I can tell, you should be fine... as long as you can wire each sub separately to each channel of the amp, since if you bridged the system, you could be over-powering the subs...
Someone with more knowledge will be along shortly to tell you any specifics about these components...

RE: help with ohms!
crutchfield is waaaaaaay overpriced. What are your goals/budget and I can help you choose a system for your needs
Edit. Those subs can be wired in series for a single 4 ohm load on the amp. Just go postitive to positive and negative to negative.

(as an aside, series would be N of sub 1 toP of sub 2, then amp P to sub 1 P, and amp N to sub 2 N... which would give 16ohms total, and only about 150Wrms into the pair, if I'm not mistaken)

RE: help with ohms!
just so everyone knows, if you bridge a 2-ch amp with 2 subs it actually splits the ohm load causing it to be cut in half one more time than most people think. for example. 2-8 ohm subs wired in parallel comes out to 4 ohm, then when bridged on a 2 ch amp is cut in half again to 2 ohms. a lot of people dont take into effect that bridging 2 subs cuts it in half again. 1-8 ohm sub would run at 4 ohm on this amp, while 2 will run at 2 ohm
so those subs on that 2 ch amp will run at 2 ohms if it is parallel and bridged, and will allow for the most efficiency of the amp. so those subs would work great with that amp. since the amp will push 300 rms per channel, and the subs have a power range of 50-400 rms.
but also i agree with kokasian that crutchfield is overpriced, so i would look around before i bought from them

RE: help with ohms!
should i just go with 1 12" i was thinking that too
and so are u saying that if i did get those subs and amp that i could just run each speaker on its own channell and it would be working at full RMS power

i have an 80x4 amp for my speakers so i want bass to match that good how many watts u thinks hould be good

the sum of both channels...it does nothing to the resistance of your coils...
