What are the differences between 2 and 4 ohm? Just the resistance or is there some volume or bass difference? Cant figure out which to buy 40hm or 20hm

The only difference is the final ohm load presented to the amplifier. What amp do you have now? How many speakers are you planning on running? We need more info to help you out.

40 and 20ohms?! biggest number for ohm load i've e ver seen in car audio was 8 ohm.
But with amps... a 2 ohm load will have mor epower then a 4 ohm... assuming the amp is stable to 2 ohms or what not.

no difference between a 2 or 4 ohm sub if both subs get say 500 watts.
subs come in different coil configurations so you can match the right load to the amplifiers and number of subs you'll be using.
