Understanding Ohms (audio)

None of you guys make any sense... Yes you have to find an amp that's 2 ohm (or lower) in stability. As for now, think of the amp as an obsolete part of the equation because its however you wire your speakers that brings the ohm load to the amp. Not the speakers, before you wire them, being compatible with the amp... that's just ridiculous. Now. I personally go with dual 4 ohm subs with a mono block (single channel amp) and wire them down to a 1 ohm load. I would recommend googling any subwoofer wiring diagram on the net. its all up to you on how u want it to sound. the less ohms the harder ur stereo will hit. But the less sound quality. (home stereos being 8ohms) The quality isn't really anything you can tell in a vehicle, it being such a small area and all. Your next choice,... Enclosures. Ported (vented) or sealed. They both have differant frequency responses. I like sealed. Ported sounds almost to sloppy to me. Good luck to you, and the other obvious group of non stereo gurus.
