hi im new to car audio and i have a few questions. i work in a speaker shop here in town and i dont know much about car audio. i bet your wondering how i even got a job there. well put it this way i can sell a blind man a newspaper.

my main question is when i am selling speakers how do you know how to get speakers to different ohms. like tow 4 ohm speakers can you get the to 1 ohm? i guess what i am getting at how do i learn really. is there a book i can buy or something?

I hope this "speaker shop" isn't in MY town.  What are you saying, they hired you and put you to work without any sort of training program?
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Sounds like I'm soon to be out of a job! That's my CV. No, really... My resume has that very line in it... "Knows Everything"   new, speakers, ohms? -- posted image.
Dude. Slow down. NONE of can know it all! I appreciate as much as anyone the desire for as much knowledge as will fit into my head, but nobody ever knows it all... As a word of advice to you? LISTEN. That is the most important tool you can EVER posess. I don't mean just hear... Everybody hears. LISTEN. Learn now that listening is an art, and letting people teach you is a skill that very few people allow themselves to develop.
You've got the passion, apparently... Don't let it cloud your vision.
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
