10" L7, Ohm question

[bunkerking09 10+ year member]

I have a 2 Ohm L7 with dual voice coils (2 ohm on both obviously)

Is there any way i can run it at 2 Ohm or will i have to bump it up to 4 by running it in parallel? I'd like to get the most possible wattage without buying another one seeing that i have no room

If it's dual 2-ohm:

You can wire both in parallel, which reduces the impedance by half - 1ohm

You can wire both in series, which doubles the impedance - 4ohm

You can wire both seperately, but only if you have a two channel amp, otherwise it's still just parallel.

If I were you I would find a 1-ohm stable amp and go that route. They're increasingly more common today, and you'll get tons of power for fairly cheap! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

well i have a kicker 750.1 on the way, and no more room in my truck, so it looks like 4 ohms at maximum gain level for me!

Nooo!

Read the gain sticky. But yes 4 ohms it is.
