I just had a quick question. Can i run a 4ohm subwwofer with a 2ohm subwoofer on a 2 channel amp? Thanks.

Sure, you could, but the 2-ohm speaker will be louder than the 4-ohm speaker since it will receive twice the power. It's not a good idea.

Not trying to be rude or anything, but why would you do that?

You would probably be better off just running one or the other. Try not to "mix-n-match" subwoofers. (or any speaker for that matter)

thanks. i had ordered a 4ohm speaker off of ebay ealier in the month and finally ordered another 4ohm speaker. I received a 2ohm speaker instead of the 4ohm so i was just wondering if it would work the same. thanks for your concern.

^^ Reason #997 to purchase from local authorized retailers and not from eBay or other anonymous on-line sellers.

i can't say that is true because this is my first bad experience with ebay. i bought my head unit which is a pioneer n-2, all door speakers, both amps, crossover, and a subwoofer with no problem. retailers are just too expensive and i installed everything myself with the help of this website.
