ok i've got a quick question.. what will result if you wire a dual 2 ohm sub ( wired up to 4 ohms) and hook it up to an 8 ohm amp? What damage will result to either, if any.. thanks
it's just a stupid question that's on my mind..

that amp will be running @ 4 ohms. don't do it unless you know for sure that amp can do it!

so nothing would happen to the sub ?

nah the amp is not an amp at all its just a kenwood reciever .. so i dont care about it it's old some chanels dont work etc .. but the sub is a alpine type r dual 2 ohm 12" .. just sitin around.. and im bored .. as long as nothing ahppens to the sub

no the sub's resistance determines the amps output. make sure the amp will handle 4 ohms, and the output of that amp @ 4 ohms is not to much for the sub!
