2 Ohm vs. 4 Ohm
I can get a kicker 10L7 real cheap but its 4ohm. What is the difference between a 4ohm and a 2ohm sub. I noticed when it was 4ohm the max and rms wattage dropped quite a bit?

K thats really all I needed. How much of a difference is there. If I could get a kicker 10l7 and a kicker box for about 150 should i do it or spend probably 100 extra and get it seperately to get a 2ohm
Do you already have an amp chose or are you going to purchase your amp based on your sub decision?

Pretty much If I get a good deal on either I will purchase the other accordingly. Why can't subs and amps be plug and play. :) I was looking at
• 10" Solo-Baric L7 Subwoofer (S10L7)
• Slim Truck Style Sealed Enclosure For Maximum Sound Quality
• 3/4" Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) Construction
• High Density Automotive-Grade Carpeting
• Gray Cast Aluminum Inserts
• Cast Aluminum L7 Woofer Grille
• 4-Ohm Impedance
• 600 Watts RMS / 1200 Watts Peak Power Handling (using a subsonic filter)
• 400 Watts RMS / 800 Watts Peak Power Handling (without a subsonic filter)
• Dimensions: 17 1/2" W x 14 1/2" H x 9 1/4" D (at bottom) to 6 1/8" D (at top)
And then ZX750.1 Kicker amp. Which only shows 2ohm. Which is when I started reading into all this ohm mumbojumbo.

Thats crazy its a 400 watt difference. I was trying to keep all this as low as possible, but still getting a good system. I'm just gonna keep looking I guess. I'll just make sure its 2ohm.
