I PHUCKED up dearly, can someone help me? simple ohm problem.

[stangman67 10+ year member]

why?? he can get more bridged at 8 ohms then he can off a single channel. OP ' date=' read my sig , it applies to this guy. LOL[/quote']
Ummm ok. That amp will put out 150rms bridged at 8 ohm, it puts out 150 per channel at 2 ohm. Exactly the same, retard.

no it does 100x2 @ 4 ohms or 150 x 2 @ 4 ohms. which means a 8 ohm load bridged would yeild 200 rms.

ID LIKE BOTH COILS TO WORK IF POSSIBLE SO:

 

if i run a coil off each channel how many RMS will i have total to the sub?

 

if i run it 8ohms like he is saying how many RMS will i have total to the sub?

 

since this is just for a project and will be trashed (except ill probably just ship you the cadence amp if you pay shipping) we just need to get as close to the max rms which is 250 of the sub. so which route should i truly go? i'm really confused now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

200

You guys have this poor sap so confused....

This is the true answer:

Wire the sub in Series to create an 8ohm load

Coil 1 +

to Coil 2-

then coil 1- and coil 2+ to the "bridged" lables on the terminals of your amp

this will give you roughtly 200w RMS and be safe...

this is the ONLY.. and I repeat ONLY logical way to wire this and that is how it should be done no questions asked... I have no clue what you guys are trying to argue about or tell him .. but this is IT.. and yeah.. dont challenge.. done .. over ... finite'

i've had better luck in mono in this situation. say he has a track that basses hard on the left channel ' date=' it will only push one coil and that can be nasty especially if its a note thats in phase on one channel and outta phase on the other. it will literally pull the 2 coils in different directions. which will lead to woofer failure. mono will be safer.[/quote']
What? When have you ever heard a song that had different bass tracks on the left and right channels?

Edit-

20 bucks huh

There 8 ohms bridged

Every test tone on bass mechanic v5.0 from 20 to 90 play in and out of phase from each other. (listen to them on just the left channel it sounds like a constant tone , listen to just the right channel and its a constant tone , but play it in stereo it sounds like the volume is going up and down thru the whole tone. They are shifting in and outta phase on those tracks , if he had the sub hooked up with one coil to each channel and played that section of that disc damage could occur. But there are plenty of rock songs with bass tracks only on one channel , iron man by black sabbath starts out that way , lots of beatles songs and doors songs , lots of zepplin too. it would not be stereo if different sounds didnt play on different channels , and even if you hear the same sounds on both channels they could have been time delayed by the slightest millisecond to give the overall sound a more stereo sounding effect to the which would essentially lower performance if a speaker was taking 2 seperate amplified signals and trying to reproduce them with 2 seperate coils connected to one speaker cone. Think tug of war , you on one end and me on the other , we fight for the movement of the rope , but if we are both pulling in the same direction we get the rope moving with ease.

I don't need the mechanics of tug of war explained to me, I understood your concerns, my argument was simply that it would be unlikely he would be playing from a source with separate left/right bass tracks. The test tones don't really count because I was talking about music, but if you claim that some of those bands actually have separate bass tracks then I guess your point has merit. Most of the time on those lower frequencies it's all mono since the left/right distinction is difficult to make at such frequencies.

you are right , most of the time the bass notes are mono or mono enough to not make a difference , the biggest problem i had was trying to play almost any track on bassotronics volume 2. they all sounded terrible until i sent a straight mono signal to both of my amps. remember for awhile there i was running 2 two channels to a single sub , one bridged to each coil. but i had left signal going to one amp and right signal going to the other amp , it made a big difference in sound once i fed both amps a mono signal.

and i didnt mean to insult your intelligence , i was just trying to make it super simple for a noob who came across this thread at a later time.
