though for me, you'd have to change it to 10 inches, and you'd have to change inches to millimeters, and you'd have to change 10 to 5 and you'd have to change dick to poor excuse for one.

a measure of resistance? The more ohms the more 'volume' it takes to get them to play as loud as a speaker w/ less ohms.
Try Google. Here is one that I found:

The ohm is the unit of measure of a devices opposition to the flow of electrical current. (bcae)

Higher ohm loads on speakers will in a way have them be quieter.. since 8 ohms to an amp gives about half rated power.. but 2 8 ohm speakers will give rated power.. (paralell) and be louder than the 1 4 ohm speaker (asusming all are identical, speaker enclosure etc etc)

OHMS is a resitance rating for the sub, it has little effect on the sound quality. I cant find the 88100 listed... Whats it say on the magnet? anything? I cant find specs at all
