6 per channel... 2 ohms, perfect.

12 per car... 2 ohms per channel, perfect!

I think ALL woofers should start moving toward higher impedances, personally...

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."

I agree, Dave. 16-ohms might be nice too.

BTW, JL Audio has their 8W3v2-D6 which is DVC 6-ohms so could be wired for 12-ohms.
