how to lower your impedence load

[saltyreefguy 10+ year member]

I noticed there seem to be plenty people running on .05 load or lower, question for you guys, how can you get to run that low load setup, will the subs be able to bring it down that low? or do you have to use a device or module to lower the inpedence load?

I guess my topic was not phrase correctly... i was not looking to find out ' how to ', but how and why...

depends on the coils on the subs they're using. some subs have like dual .7 ohm coils.

Why do you want to know how to lower it, all you do is add more subs or just start with a low impedence sub and wire it in parallel. everytime you add a sub it cuts in half (parallel)

use long *** wires

spit on the subwoofer and call it dirty names. It'll lower its self esteem and impedance load.

:laugh:i thought it was funny

hahaha, let me rephrase myself. i was reading a current thread of one person has his subs setup for .05 load, so i was wondering, what kind of subs wired will bring to those numbers, and so they can get the most power out of their amps?, if their amps will accept that low load.

also is it 5 subs with 2ohm dvc wired in series will output that number?

u probably read .5, HUGE difference. most people dont go that low unless they're doing it for burps.

Your asking a useless question. What kind of subs do you have, how many of them do you have and how low is your amp stable down to?

Dual 1 ohm wired in parallel = .5 ohm

2 Dual 2 ohm subs wired in parallel each = 1ohm then wired in parallel again = .5 ohm

Doesn't do below 1 ohm but it gives you an idea of how it works if you play wit it.

its not what i am trying to accomplish with my setup, i was just merely trying to get an understanding of how and why do they you run at that load. but i guess its a useless question, since nobody would ever ask that type of question, correct?..

incorrect. You just did

Its a useless question because there's too many variables, impedence of sub, dual or single voice coil, how many subs, how its wired (seres, parallel, or both)..etc.

Dual 1 ohm wired in parallel = .5 ohm2 Dual 2 ohm subs wired in parallel each = 1ohm then wired in parallel again = .5 ohm

These two answer your question!

i went to the cardomain sub wiring calculator, and it was 4 svc 2 ohm subs in series to achieve .05, so that was part of what i was looking for?

but i thought you said it was ' a useless question ', is it?
