manufacturer says this comes in both 2 and 8 ohms. Which is this?

This is a dual coil sub so I'm assuming it is 2 ohms if you run the two coils in parallel and 8 ohms each side. This doesn't quite work out, you're right, as it should be two 4 ohm coils (which is how I see it described on sites that sell it) that in parallel is 2 ohms or in series is 8 ohms. I built my own box to the sealed box specs (remarkably small) and am driving it in stereo (though my head unit has a dedicated sub setting for outputs which may sum to mono on its own) with a 1000watt stereo amp and I assumed it was 4ohm per side. It sounds amazing in my little car, as a matter of a fact it took me forever to get the sub balanced with the rest of the system because it is amazingly efficient so I kept turning down the sub out as well as the amp trim and finally settled on running it with a 150hz cutoff instead of 75hz. Hope this helps.

Is the resistance 8 ohms total, or 8 ohms per channel? If it's 8 ohms total, you would want to hook up, for example, two 16 ohm speakers, not two 8 ohm speakers. Basically, if you have two speakers with 8 ohms of resistance each (for example), that would result in 4 ohms total. I don't know if that helps at all...

They're really 6 Ohms. Kinda ambidextrous. Since it is equally in between 4 and 8, it can be used for either application.

Won't work with a 8 ohm coil. I use it with a 12" single 4 ohm via bridge and the amps couldn't handle it. I think you should get a different amps or get 2 ohms speakers.

These are listed as 6 ohm. That's a compromise between 4 and 8 ohms. These should be OK with either 4 or 8 as long as you aren't pumping maximum power thru them. Keep it under 100 watts and you probably won't notice any difference.

I installed these and the instructions that came inside the box and I am reading now say 2 ohm.

Depends on your setup - if you are going to use it just for sub then 4 ohm, if you are going to use it multi channel, then 2 ohm. Caution, this amp shuts down easily when "overloaded" or too much current is drawn.

2 ohm, I have dual 12s both running 2 ohms with a 3000 watt amp, sounds amazing and I'm still breaking it in, but 2 ohm in my eyes is for more than one sub to divi the power more equally

I have no idea, but I just read the manual and it states 125@ 8ohms, and 200 @4 ohms.

Honestly I don't know how the ohms work. I believe they are 8 when all four are wired., I bulit a custom box but left the rear panel off, for two reasons 1 to get more air in and out and 2 to switch between 2 and all 4.

This amplifier is not stable at 2 ohms. it is limited to 4 ohm loads or higher.

Yes it will because when you have two 4 ohms it make 8 ohms and the amp is rated at 8 ohms per side.

The pair i purchased last year from parts express were listed as 8 ohms, but measured 4 ohms.

The guy below is correct. It's rated for 8 ohms. It is a damn good stereo receiver for the price though. Don't let the namebrand fool you. I did hook up 6 ohm speakers to it though and it never really got hot. I never tried 4 ohm speakers though.

They are 8 ohm. Also, if you need additional specs, just scroll down to the product description and it gives you everything you might need to know. We have been very happy with these......really good sound.

They're both 50 ohm, so either will work, use the better (low loss) one of you have to make a long run. It's a trade-off in flexibility, loss, and cost.

I'm using a old four channel that can withstand the 2 ohm load so you can look for a cheap one on amazon or sonicelectronx that can hold 2ohms but remember to break them in first
