It means that the loudspeaker maker tells you that his loudspeaker builds an input impedance (load impedance) of Zload = 4 to 8 ohms. In audio we use always voltage matching and so the amplifier output should have a source impedance of smaller Zsource = 0.1 ohm. Scroll down to related links and look for "Damping Factor".

What would be better keeping your 12 inch kicker dvc at 2ohm or wiring them for 4 ohm?

Car stereos are designed for 4-8 ohms loads unbridged (8 ohms bridged). So wire it for 4 ohms. If you use a separate amp for the speaker then refer to the amp's documentation - most are designed to operate with standard 4 ohms unbridged and may also have provision for 2 ohms unbridged (or 4 ohms bridged).

It has to do with the load on the amplifier, you can't hear the difference.

Five resistors are connected together in series. One resistor is 2 ohms one is 3 ohms one is 4 ohms one is 5 ohms and the fifth is 6 ohms. What is the total resistance?

Purely additive. 2+3+4+5+6=20.

If an amplifier has an output of 350 watts rms 8 ohms what is the output at 4 ohms?

There is no amplifier with an output impedance of 8 ohms or 4 ohms on the market. All audio amplifiers really have an output impedance of less than 0.1 ohms. Scroll down to related links and look at "Amplifiers, loudspeakers and ohms"
