Dual 2 or Dual 4 ohm????!

Actually neither one of you was wrong unless you have a problem understanding english. His original post was correct as was your corrective post in which you stated the exact same thing he had already said.

Properly Stated though it would go something like this:

A Dual 2Ohm resistance Voice Coiled speaker with its voice coils wired in series, wired in a series circuit with another Dual 2Ohm resistance Voice Coiled speaker with its voice coils wired in series will produce an 8Ohm resistance load.

A Dual 2Ohm resistance Voice Coiled speaker with its voice coils wired in parallel, wired in a parallel circuit with another Dual 2Ohm resistance Voice Coiled speaker with its voice coils wired in parallel will produce a 1/2Ohm resistance load.

A Dual 4Ohm resistance Voice Coiled speaker with its voice coils wired in series, wired in a series circuit with another Dual 4Ohm resistance Voice Coiled speaker with its voice coils wired in series will produce a 16Ohm resistance load.

A Dual 4Ohm resistance Voice Coiled speaker with its voice coils wired in parallel, wired in a parallel circuit with another Dual 4Ohm resistance Voice Coiled speaker with its voice coils wired in parallel will produce a 1Ohm resistance load.

EDIT:Yes it is 1Ohm Adam //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

same exact thing? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Originally posted by bumpin_blazer dual 4 ohm subs wired in parallel get you a 1 ohm load when you have 2 of them, and a 4 ohm load in series.

Originally posted by ace7733(2) 4 ohm DVC subs

parallel = 4 ohms

series = 1 ohm

So if I can't understand English, that makes my calculations are wrong?

Actually //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/nono.gif.eca61d170185779e0921b0faa9704973.gif reading your ORIGINAL post ACE

(2) 2 ohm DVC subs

parallel = 2 ohms

series = 0.5 ohms

(2) 4 ohm DVC subs

parallel = 4 ohms

series = 1 ohm

You were 100% WRONG

hey thank you cliff i appreciate the help on this one seeing as how we discussed this last night on aol hehe. anyway in your post about the 2 dual 4 ohm subwoofer's wired in parallel isn't that a 1ohm load?? you mistyped i assume and put 2??

You guys are also forgetting another valuable point...

Whether or not he is hooking these subs up to a stereo bridged output or a mono-block amp. A 2 channel bridged amp is not going to see the same ohm load as a single channel mono-block amp. I didn't pay attention to what amp he is hooking up to but this info may be important to others who don't have the same amp.

Peace...(yeah,right!)

 

[bumpin_blazer 5,000+ posts]

yeah it is important but read the amp type before you go into a thread next time dude. thank you very much for the input though. it's mono by the way.

I said at the end of my post that I didn't catch the amp he was talking about but more importantly for the others that were reading the posts and getting ideas on how to hook up their speakers, I wanted them to know that it makes a difference as to what kind of amp they will be hooking up to. A 2 channel amp bridged out to mono is not going to be the same as using a mono-block amp. Other users might not have known that had someone not mentioned it, that's all.

yeah i'm sorry for being a jerk about it just didn't read the bottom part my man. hey how do you like those oz audio speaker's??

Umm...nope. Series parallel is pefectly fine. Who told you that?

 

[bumpin_blazer 5,000+ posts]

see i wasn't totally sure if it was ok or not a friend told me it wasn't a good idea. i should have put i'm not sure if it's recommended huh.

I'm using a JBL 1200.1 which is both 1 ohm and 2 ohm stable.....which i didn't realized until after i asked

Yeah its electrically sound, its kind of an old wive's tale I guess.

It might be more correct to say that the resistance loads tolerated by a monoblock amp as opposed to a 2-channel run bridged mono will be different. The resistance on the conductors will not change though. Most 2 channels will not tolerate a load lower than 2ohms per channel stereo and 4ohms to 1 channel bridged mono. I think I know what you're saying there just not sure if this is what you meant or not //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif
