now that i found out for sure they're 8 ohm is this amp still going to work? or can i only use an amp at 8 ohm?

If they are 4ohm subs this is how you wire them

So look look at your subs and there should be a sticker or somthing that says 4 or 8 ohm.

i was finally able to check them out today and they are 8ohms but the place i got everything hooked up at had them hooked up like the wiring option 1 is that right?

thanks again for everyones help.. im starting to understand a little more lol...

If these are the subs then it appears they are single voice coil in either 4 or 8ohms, for your sake I hope they are 4.

thanks.. i actually went there but i couldnt find my speaker.. i didnt know they had an arcieve...

i was able to check the subs myself today and they're definately 8 ohm with 200 watts RMS and 400 Watts Peak....

They are 200rms per sub, not 400.

If the site you posted first is the exact place you bought them then they are single 8ohm because it says it in the description.

The sub(s) you have are 400rms at 8ohm. So you need an amp that does or is close to 400rms at 8ohm.
