0 ohm load possible?

LOL, so is it even possible to achieve a 0 ohm load?

In theory, yes. In real life loads are going to have some kind of resistance if you go back a ton of decimal places.

Wrong!
There is no resistance in absolute zero temperatures! they have been playing with this idea for sometime.

too bad you can't create absolute zero temperatures...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

falls under the same category...its a theoretical limit thats impossible to reach, but you can come close

just like approaching infinity, except its impossible to even get 'close' to that, but for usefull purposes we can use really big numbers instead

If you run 4 single vc 1 ohm subs in parallel you get a 0 ohm load?

Sure, on the dark side of the moon.

seriously? You couldnt of made it a quad 1 ohm? lol

figure this. 2 quad 1 ohm woofers would be 1/8 ohm. 4 would be a 1/16 ohm. I cant remember what ohm you would have to be at to have a dead short but i know its very very low

eventually your wire has more resisitance than the sub

you are correct.

For all intensive purposes a dead short is assumed to be no resistance.

The phrase is "for all intents and purposes".

"For all intensive purposes" is a malapropism.

Sorry, pet peeve of mine.

i was just about to say that ^^

yep yep yep

Interesting... Thanks for correcting me. Never knew that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

This man knows his stuff.

Also the opposite of that (so much resistance that it is immeasurable) is a condition called infinity....

There is nothing theoretical about zero Kelvin; and it is not impossible to reach...

FYI RE_XXX, copper has no critical temperature and even at zero kelvin it will not behave as a superconductor...

All the components that are use in subs and that make current flow have resistence. Don't know about cientific world, but in car audio world is not possible.

I liked how the flame fest died down here...

In for learning!

Even if you could reach absolute 0, electrons would not flow at that temperature......AKA no current flow.
