Impedance
In reality, a measure of the total opposition to current flow in an alternating current circuit, made up of two components, ohmic resistance and reactance, and usually represented in complex notation as Z = R + iX, where R is the ohmic resistance and X is the reactance. In this car audio, typically we use impedance as only the resistance, to make speaker selection easier. This is how many "Ohms" a speaker "has".
