Got a few questions about them, since I plan on building a good sound system into my MAME cabinet.
1. Is there any difference in a woofer and a subwoofer driver? I planned on sticking 2 tweeters, to mid ranges, and two woofers.

2. What is impedence all about? 4 ohm, 6 ohm, 8 ohm.

Thanks. I think I understand impedence

SirPoonga:

Also note you need to make sure your amp can handle the impedence.

For example, in the bass guitar world you really have to watch your impedence.  If your amp can't handle 2ohm you don't want to be connecting two 4 ohm speakers in parallel (creating 2ohm).  Whatever the minim ohm your amp can handle your speakers need to total or be higher than that.  Of coarse the higher you go the power to the speakers you get.
