Help with Ohms, voice coils and my system
I thinking about upgrading my system. My first question is what is the difference bettween 2ohms and 4 ohms (what should i look for)
Second, what is the difference between 1 and 2 voice coils besides the price. Im assuming 2 is better but why.
Third what would be a good amp sub combo
Im currently looking at these http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1170289780974 (sorry dont know how to shorten it). What amp would be good for powering two of these. I would prefer it to be from BB. Or is there another sub from BB that would be better. Im looking to spend under $800 for my system (2 subs and an amp). It doesnt have to be from BB i just prefer it because its local. so if there is something better somewere else let me know.
If anyone can answer any of my questions it would be apreciated.

RE: Help with Ohms, voice coils and my system
ok....so basically here are your options with that sub.
1) If your getting two woofers, you can wire 2 DVC 4ohm woofers to have a 1 ohm final load that goes into the amp. So you want to look for an amp that has 1kw at 1ohm.
look around on this site: www.woofersetc.com
they have very good pricing and better equipment.
If you have any other questions let me know. I can go into the difference between SVC and DVC woofers if you want but I dont think its necessary

ok i looked at the site but it would take a long time to look through all their subs so could you or anyone else recommend a brand. So im at least headed in the right direction.
