Finding out how many ohms my XXX is?

[schism13 10+ year member]

Yeah i got this 15" xxx, and the seller wasnt sure wut it was.. I didnt think they made a dual 4? (until i saw one on here), so i figured it was a dual 2.. anyway to find out? (besides voltmeter?)

A voltmeter wont tell you, as that measures voltage. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Seriously though, I realize you mean a multi-meter, but I dont see getting around needing one. Borrow a buddy's, set it to ohms, touch the leads. Will take all of 4 seconds. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

alright thx i guess ill just buy one..so a dual 1 wud read 2, dual 2 = 4, dual 4 = 8?

What?

IIRC Re's dual 2 ohm coils read 2.4

It should be around that mark.

Since you do not know and reall do not need to know what DCR is, just measure the resistance of the coils and let us know what it says. We will let you know if it is correct or not.

it should read what the total Ohms are, the meter doesn't know how many voice coils you have.

True, but it won't read the "total" either...it'll read the DCR of whatever coil you have it hooked up to.

Of one coil, if he hooks it up to only one //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
