Getting 2 ohm load...

From 2 DVC 4 ohm each coil subs. Possible?

Not possible. But it's nice to see somebody from Idaho on here.

Yo, wut up IF homie. It is nice to see a local on here!

Acually, I thought hard on this question I asked.

In my home audio speakers, on the wires running to the tweet/midrange speakers, there is a little box type thing that says 4 ohms. I dont know if you run the circuit through, its a 4 ohm load, or if you can run them in series and or paralell, if you can change loads. If i got sum of those that were 2 ohms, maybe it would be possible.

yes wiring series or paralell changes the load. Each sub could be wired to either 2 or 8 ohms. If you hook all them up parallel you get a 1 ohm load. If you series each sub then hook them together in parallel you get 4 ohms.

yea, but i mean if I wire a 2 ohm little box thing, if say I have a sub wired 2 ohms, add the little 2 ohm box in paralell, if I have a 1 ohm load, or if the little box thing will creat the entire load 2 ohm. It should take it to one ohm, then with the other sub, the exact same thing wired 1 ohm with the little box, and the 2 of them paralell, would be 2 ohm!

if you wired both subs like this and wired the ends to gether it might be 2 ohms,

im kinda shure, any one want to qoute me on that

I don't know what the "little box thing is" (Resistor maybe) but if you wire two 1 ohm loads together in parallel you would end up with 1/2 ohm not 2

For 1 dvc 4 ohm sub......yes. Now do that with 2 of them and wire together you will get a 1 ohm load.

It sounds like the box thingy you are talking about is the crossover. And no, changing that won't change the load, all it does is divide the frequencies between the speakers.

yeah, i thought it wouldnt be 2 ohms.

 

[qtipextra 5,000+ posts]

yea, i just figured that and came to post.

If those 1 ohms were wired in SERIES, it would be two ohms!

the little white boxes, are wired in series with a resistor. Its wut controls the highs/mids to go to that driver. But the box thing dont do nothin if circuit ran directly through it.

why are you asking?

i see that you dont have any subs.

 

[qtipextra 5,000+ posts]

or maybe they arnt resistors, but the are the crossovers, cuz hooked up to any speaker just keps highs and mids for the other one.

Good quest. My reason for askin is cuz im lookin at sum 12" subs, and my amp is only 2 ohm.
