how to achieve thsi ohm load?

[DB4Me 10+ year member]

say i could get a sub tha tis dvc 2 4 or 6 ohm, is there anyway tyo bridge any of them to 1 ohm???? its cheaper for an amp to power them that way

If you are using 1 dvc sub- the Dual 2 ohm model is your only option. You can wire it in paralel at 1ohm. It is not necessarily any cheaper to drive speakers at a lower ohm load; you just have to be sure that your amplifier is capable of handling the lower impedence.

take it easy,

the resistance (ohms) is simple physics...the two subs act as two resisitors in a single circuit.....say you wire the two subs in parallel at 4 ohms each...take 1 over the resistance (1/4) plus the other (1/4) and then take the reciprocal of that...in this case it is equal to 1/4 +1/4 = 1/2, in which case the reciprocal is 2...two subs at 4 ohms in parallel have a 2 ohm resistance...this formula will work for anything, just substitute 1 over whatever the resistance is instead of the 4 that i gave the example with...peace
