switching ohm load with relays?

Here's a diagramhttp://www.the12volt.com/relays/page5.asp#spvr

x2 ....beat me to it!

I know is shouldn't be confusing but this is the first QVC sub i have ever had... Basicaly i would just wire it like a pair of DVC subs correct?
i am lost... frikkin mutliple coils, i miss the 90's

Anyone feel like drawing me something up in paint or something?

Just use that diagram and you have to use four relays...one for each voice coil...

Don't do it. Just get a bigger amp. You can still sell this one before you fry it. After you smoke it will be too late to realize this was not a wise move.

OK... i think i figured out wiring the coils together but how do i connect all four of them to the amp now?



this might not be a good idea for me to try.... just wiring a QVC sub is kinda confusing to me in all honesty... it's just like wiring a pair of DVC's right?

for the record... this is how to wire the 1.5ohm QVC correctly isn't it?

I don't need a bigger amp... i think 5K~ rms should do just fine...

Its to much of a headache IMO.Cool idea and all but just not practical.

during normal operation each sub had 1 coil connected to a pot so QES could be adjusted..

When using a driver in RDO, the pot (or resistor, whichever the case may be) affects the Qms, not the Qes, of the driver which in turn affects the Qts.

But that's neither here nor there in regards to the question, I guess.
