Whats the difference looking at the new rockford subs.
I want going to put a system in my new car but oh well the amp is in my room. Hifonics Zues Gen XI.

So what the hell is the difference and what should i look for?

 

Theirs no difference other than their resistance. At a 2 ohm load on your amp (if your amp is stable at that load) your gonna be putting nearly twice the wattage to the speakers than what the amp is rated for. If the subs are single voice coil and your using two of them (2 ohms), you have a choice of running the combo to your amps at 4 ohm or 1 ohm depending on how you wire them.

Back in the day when I ran an old PPI Art series amp it was only 4 ohm stable, so I ran 2 kicker comp 8 ohm speakers into a 4 ohms to get the right load. If your speakers are dual voice coil then you have a sh*t ton of combo's you can make.

 

both of there speakers are dual voice coil and they give diiferent ohms?

 

no it just means you can change the ohm load using different wiring setups. What you need to do is find out what kind of ohm load you want to run to it, and then get a speaker combination to cater to that.

 

ok sounds good

 

when your subs are set at 2 ohms they hit harder. Most subs are 8 ohms or 4 but the subs are at their max on the lowest possible ohm.

 

Why would They offer the same subs in either 4 or 2 ohms

 

because some subs can be set at different ohms. Like the kicker L7 and L5 they offer them in 2 or 4 ohms and some come can be set at one ohm. I know this stuff I do this for a living

 

thanks guys I got a really good price on the new rockford sub... Ill let you know how it turns out
