rubber surround is the material that the bit between the actual cone and the 'frame' of the sub is made of, usually rubber or foam. Poly cone is the material that the cone is made of, but i dont know which is best (i think a lot depends what you want to use it for) That sub has 2 coils, each with a resistance of 4ohms. Depending how you wire it up, either series or parallel, you will get a different total resistance seen by the amplifier. Smaller resistance means more power, but you have to make sure that the amp can cope with the load. It will usually be advertised as 2ohm stable if it is, as this feature sets them apart from the bottom of the range amp. Hope that helps!

what u want is a monoblock which will give out 1000 watts rms when shown a 2 ohm load.
u can do this by connect the positive and the negative from each voice coil of the sub to the amp and the other 2 u connect to eachother...i think.
someone might have to confirm that with a diagram.
