newbie, new system, terminology?

hey im looking into getting a system for my car and i have been searching and reading about amps and subwoofers but something always starts to confuse me... can someone explain what ohm is to me? and say i were to buy two 300 watt 12" kicker comp subwoofers ...they are 4ohm a piece what would be a good amp to power them? how would u know what would be a good amp to power them? just incase i change my mind about the subs

also what does the mono, 2, and 4 channel mean?

say i were to buy an Xplod 1200watt amplifier which puts out 200 watts RMS per channel at 4ohmso if i were to buy two 12" kicker comp subs that have a 300 watt peak would that be bad since each channel is only putting out 200 watt

in power if the amp 200 watts rms will not hurt a 150 watt kicker. go by the rms rating of both amps and speakers/subs. never use max ratings as a reference. and if it were me i would not buy a sony.

any suggestions to a good amp that will power the two Kicker 12” Comp Subwoofers without like stessing the amp or subs

ohms is a must you have to learn before you do any type of set-up.  a mono amp has one output or one channel. 2-4 channel means you have 2 or 4 speaker outputs. the easy way to set up your subs is with a small 300 watt mono amp at 2 ohms.   check out ohms law at the left hand side of this screen and then check out woofer calculators.

i just found out the subs are 150 RMS each im just wondering should i get an amp that puts out more or less RMS per channel? and thanks ill go read that

the alpine mrp-m350 would be a great match.

more than the rms
