put it on ohms.

ohms and what about the other knob.. 2, 20, 200, 2000, etc.

It just moves the decimal place...put it on 20, you should get a reading.

Dual 2 should read 1.4 ohms

Dual 1 should read .75 ohms, be sure to zero your ohm meter. Couldn't tell you how many people who have sent subs back that there's nothing wrong with them, its their meter. Saying one reads 3.x and one reads 2.5 or something. Get it in, put it on the fluke and it's exactly what its supposed to be.

No way it's a single coil sub, not with that motor, isn't possible.

One is set to K ohms and the other at 20 but i still dont get a reading on either side.

Don't know what meter you have, your not going to have one coil that simply does not read...

Both are tested to work and play with an amplifier before they are ever put in the box and shipped to you.

So let me get this straight, you took it out of the card board box, hooked up 1 coil, and flopped it in your speaker box in your car? With no real regard to anything as far as actually wiring the other coil up that is on the other side of the sub?

put that meter on check and the other one on 200 they have a matching light blue symbol on em

that should read ohms

be sure to zero your ohm meter.

How do you do this?

Touch the leads together and see what it reads, if it is .3ohm then you simply subtract that amount from the amount that you have.

So if it reads 1.0 ohms, it's actually .7ohms..
