    Which ohm do I need?

    Match the speaker to your amp's speaker output. It is printed on the amp's back panel, or on the label of the speaker you are replacing. Two speakers of the same ohm wired in parallel halve it (two 8 ohm = 4 ohm); wired in series they double it (two 8 ohm = 16 ohm). Not sure? Message us a photo of your amp's back panel.
