c5 2 or 4 ohm?
I'm getting ready to buy an Image Dynamics Sub and a MRD-M301 Power Amp for starters in my audio upgrade. I notice it comes in either 2 or 4 Ohm. Which should I get for my C5?
Also, do I need to buy this factory interface kit my audio installer says?
TIA, DK

You need to match the sub to the amp. What amp are you using and what impedance will it safely run at? Personally I like to use a 4ohm load with a large amp vs a low impedance load on a smaller amp. But there are other factors to consider. Anyways...what amp are you using?
What interface kit are you referring to?

He also recomended the Image Dynamics IDQ10 for the sub. Does this sound good?
The kit? The estimate reads: Factory Radio Interface.

this is the set up that alpine intended.
