Either 4 or 8 Ohms. It will be on the back of the speaker.
it would depend on what brand and what size sub it is i would recommend 250 watts
Ohms can be found by using these formulas. Ohms = Volts/Amps, Ohms = (Volts (squared))/Watts, Ohms = Watts/(Amps (squared)).
They may vary according to system. In my non-Bose factory system, it is a 6" Clarion speaker. they are rated at 2 ohms and 40 watts max (25 watts nominal).
the ohm is a unit of measurement based off of someones last name. When used in subwoofers, for example 4 ohms or 8 ohms, it actually determines the amount of watts the speaker needs. Like if two identical subwoofers were taken and one was 4 ohms and one 8 ohms and applied say 150 watts to each of them, the 4 ohm would be louder because ohms are the speakers resistance and the lower the ohms the less amount of power it takes for the subwoofer to reach a specific loudness. That's why professional huge subwoofers may be one ohm, because an amplifier that has less power than the sub could still power it because since its one ohm, the 500 watt amplifier at 4 ohms could be 1500 watts at 1 ohm.
The normal calculations for watts are as follows.amps x volts = wattsvolts2 / ohms = wattsamps2 x ohms = wattsScroll down to the Related links and look at "Watts, Volts, Amperes, and Ohms".
Ohms is a measure of resistance. When the electricity passes into the speaker, some of it is 'resisted.' The ohms rating of the speaker is how much is resisted, and an indication of how much energy it takes to drive it - the higher the ohms rating, the more difficult it is to drive.
The speaker you connect to those terminals needs to be 4 ohms or greater.
It depends on the model speaker. The speaker has an RMS amperage rating used for choosing the amp size needed. You would want to choose the upper number if there is a range. For example 50-200 rms watts, choose an amp with 200 watts. It is worse for the speaker to have too little than too many amps. Crutchfield even recommends 75%-150% of the RMS rating. You will also need to know the OHMs of the speaker when choosing the amp. There are sub woofers rating at 2 and other rated for 4 OHMS and have different amp requirements.
75 x 1 Watts RMS @ 4 Ohms 150 x 1 Watts RMS @ 2 Ohms
sure you can, your amp will only deliver 52 watts to the speaker, more importend would be the impedance of the speaker . it should be equal to what your amp has! may be 8 ohms
There are three formulas that you can use. Amps = Volts/Ohms Amps = Watts/Volts Amps = sq root of Watts/Ohms
