Forgive my cluelesness,
I was looking for a set of speakers & I figured that wattage was good. THe more watts the better. Thing is I naint got a clue what this Ohm thing means.
Amps say shit like 8 by 8 ohms or something. So I was thinking "Wow!, This ones got Ohms as well as Watts! must be good!" & what kinda speakers should I get to go with this CRAAAAAZy amp with Ohms. What kind of Ohmage/wattage is too much?

Also, why are car speakers waaay cheaper than Hi-Fi speakers? Is it the cabinets? Would it be possible to make cabinets with car speakers for a Hi-fi set up (&save$$$).

Thanks for your time.
