I don't really understand Ohms very much. Over the last year or so, I have bought the following car audio parts on sale (mostly from best Buy deals-of-the-day) for a 2013 Ford Focus ST I will be getting within the next couple of weeks or so.
Deck - Sony CDXGT56UI - 52W x 4 Apple® iPod®-/Satellite Radio-Ready In-Dash CD Deck
Amp - Alpine MRX-V70 - MRX Series 710W Class D Digital Multichannel Amplifier
Subwoofer - Pioneer TS-W309D2 - 12" Dual-Voice-Coil 2-Ohm Subwoofer
Door Speakers (2 sets) - Polk Audio DXI650 - 6-1/2" Coaxial Loudspeakers with Poly-Mica Cones
Amp Control - Alpine RUX-KNOB - Remote Subwoofer Control Knob for Select Alpine Amplifiers
Subwoofer Box - Metra TCBXP-112 - 12" Single Ported Subwoofer Enclosure
I plan on having Best Buy install these parts in the car, but I am not 100% sure that they would know the best way to hook the speakers up to the amp correctly.
Is it better to hook everything up at 4 ohms, or hook the sub up at 2 ohms and the 4 door speakers up at 4 ohms, etc. ?
I care more about the quality of the music than I do about the volume level.
What does anyone recommend as the best way to hook everything up?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
