two dual 1 subs wired to 1 ohm??

[TreyE 10+ year member]

can this be done??? sorry i cannot find how to calculate this anywhere...i think it will work but im not sure...they have to be wired together so would parrallel or series give me a 1ohm load??

yes you wire both subs to either .5 or 2 ohms then wire to 1 ohm from there.

what are you talking about...it can only by .5 or 2ohms.

^^ Wrong

dual 1 ohms subs can be ran at

.25 1 and 4 ohms

he has 2 count em 2 dual 1 ohm subs. So i was technically right and you are completely off.

Winner

wire sub a in parallel .5

wire sub b in parallel .5

wire sub a and b together in series 1 Ohmages

score for yous! woot. Or wire them both in series to 2 ohms then in parallel for 1 ohm lol.

it actually makes it easier doing it my way ... that way u only have 2 leads going into the amp and if u dont have a mono block that is much better //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Oh i know, and supposedly it will have less resistance but at least we are letting him know he has multiple options lol. I dont know what that guy earlier was thinking .5 or 2 ohms lol.

reading the whole title and post > me.... lol.

i thought he was talking about one....

 

[TreyE 10+ year member]

yea sorry the amp only has one set of speaker terminals so i have to wire them together....thanks everyone tho

I'd wire the coils in series and the subs in parallel. Keeps the phase between the subs the same.

wiring speakers in series introduces a slight phase difference. to keep the subs in phase, wire the coils in series instead of the subs.

dual 1 ohm coils in series gives you 2 ohm subs. Them in parllel gives you a 1 ohm load with the least amount of phase shift.

yea but then id have to run them at 2ohms and i dont wanna do that

it's a 1 ohm final load.

 

[TreyE 10+ year member]

it's a 1 ohm final load.

im so confused...im sorry im just gunna have em outta phase oh well lol

 

[djman37 5,000+ posts]

First:

1 ohm coil + 1 ohm coil in series = 2 ohm sub

Then:

2 ohm sub + 2 ohm sub in parallel = 1 OHM FINAL LOAD.
