dual 2: run it either 1ohm or 4ohm? correct?

dual 4: i have no clue.

Dual 2ohm - 1 or 4ohm

Dual 4ohm - 2 or 8ohm

Dual 2ohm - 1 or 4ohm
Dual 4ohm - 2 or 8ohm

thank you.

Parallel Resistance = 1/(1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ...)Series Resistance = R1 + R2 + R3 + ...

Two 2 ohm voice coils wired in parallel = 1/(1/2 + 1/2) = 1 ohm

Two 2 ohm voice coils wired in series = 2 + 2 = 4 ohms

Two 4 ohm voice coils wired in parallel = 1/(1/4 + 1/4) = 2 ohms

Two 4 ohm voice coils wired in series = 4 + 4 = 8 ohms

im new at this so im trying to figure this out.

so i can run Two 2ohm subs at either 1 ohm or 4ohm?

and Two 4ohm subs at 2ohm or 8ohm depending on how i configure them?

no...

you can run (2) Dual 2 Ohm subs @ .5 ohms (parallel/parallel), 2 ohms(series/parallel), or 8 Ohms(series/series)

james----open the pm i sent you sorry

hey my amp sends 600wrms at 1ohm, i want a sound splinter rl-p, i should get it at dual 2 ohms correct?

 

[knight2006 10+ year member]

yep

 

[norcalSRTrida 10+ year member]

so if i want to run 2ohms i'd opt for 2 dual twos running 1 ohm each?

and w/ that being said...do i configure the amp for 1ohm or 2?

sorry for the no0byness. im just trying to get this stuff down to a science

thanks and appreciation goes for the help given.
