Default Elemental Designs subs and ohm rating

Looking into stealth enclosures and subs and had ED in mind. They have a couple 10 inch subs but they're available in dual 2ohm and dual 4ohm. What is the difference?

The difference is as they say - they each have two voice coils...but on one the VC's each have an impedance of 2 ohms; and on the other 4 ohms per voice coil.

You can obtain a nominal impedance of:

1 ohm (VCs in parallel) or 4 ohms (VCs in series) w/ the D2 model.

2 ohms (VCs in parallel) or 8 ohms (VCs in series) w/ the D4 model.

So, based on your amp/needs....choose the appropriate sub.
