Well at that price I guess you can't complain, even if they aren't an authorized dealer.

Well I looked on the Site Etronics.com and the 12" 2 ohm for one was like 109.99and the 12" 4 ohm where like 117.99 each

^ I'm with Jeremy on this one... the dual 4ohm are going to match up better, and I'm just as confused as to why the 4ohms are more money... they shouldn't be... so before you buy, shop around if you can for some that are the same price.

by JeremyC » Mon Jan 01, 2007 4:37 pm

There shouldn't really be a diffrence (except for a few minor specs), so I am not sure why the dual 4 ohm is more.

Either way get the ones that will match up the best with your amp, don't worry about which one cost more.

Thanks, I now understand how to wiring it up for 1ohm,( But this my last question) They make a 2ohm and a 4ohm Alpine Type R( right) the 4 ohm costing more, so i was going for those ( you get what you pay for, so i'm going for the speaker that cost more . i'm putting the order in Friday.so is one better that the other or you just go by what kind of amp your using Thanks for the help

PPI is good(Precision Power Inc.), Power Acoustik is OK, and DUB is Audiobahn junk... you will definately need a 1000-1500rms amp at 1ohm..

( Are PPI , Power Aco, Dub ) are they good amps
For a better idea of what's good in amps... check out the "Good, Bad, and Ugly list" in the FAQ threads.
Now onto you never seeing a 1ohm speaker... sure you have... A dual 2ohm voice coil speaker can be wired at 1ohm... also Your 2) dual 4ohm speakers wired in parallel will handle 2ohm a piece and wired together in parallel 1ohm.
And I agree with Scarrell, that you should probably be looking at a 1000wrms class D mono block... prefferably 1ohm stable.

ohms are the measurement for impedance. When voice coils are wired in series they represent double the load to the amp. Parallel represents half the load. use this link to help you out.
