Sail Panel Subs - 2 Ohm or 2/4 Ohm or 4/4 Ohm???
Confused...
I'm looking to upgrade the factory Monsoon sound system in my 2001 Trans-Am visually 'unnoticed'. ED has a nice 6.5" sub for the sail panels. It's available in d2 and dual 4.
I'm reading some threads that state 2 Ohm is the way to go. Then it also states that that's for Camaros; being a two wire speaker sub.
Other threads state dual 4 ohm for the Firebirds; being four wire speaker subs. I personally confirmed the four wires and the speaker states 4 Ohm/4 Ohm on the back.
Simple enough right? Nope.
I have the actual GM Service Manuals for the 2001 Camaro/Firebird. It shows the subs for the Firebird being a Dual Voice Coil Speaker at 4 Ohm and 2 Ohm.
What gives? I believe the ED dual 4 is the way to go but...? Can someone straighten out my confusion?
Thanks for your time.

blue- 2002 ws6
my understanding is that the camaro have 2ohm and that the firebird line have the 4ohm and both are dual voice coil .... i no longer have my stock ones in my trans am .. but if u still have the stock ones in yours just unscrew them and look on the back it will state what it is

Well, I went with the Elemental Design 7Kv.s Dual 4 Ohm subs and they work great in my T/A.

Additional inf.:
They're a tad bit larger in diameter than the factory subs. I also found it necessary to make spacers to go behind the subs to keep them from bottoming out. I used 3/8" ply. They sound pretty good for small subs. If you're looking to keep the stock appearance these will fit the bill.
