i have 4dvc subs i wired them down into series so it would give me 2ohms but when i checked them with my dmm they say 1ohm!! should i still run them evem though my amp is a 2 ohm stable?? i know its a noob question but idk if its safe both pair of subs say about 2ohms a pair

Two dual 4s??? If you have four dual 4s they can be wired @ one ohm... check each sub individually first to see if you possibly have a bad coil

lol, you have all coils paralleled, and that comes to 1ohm..... 2ohms per. you have to series the coils instead, and then parallel, and you will have 4ohms

What amp?

 

[>>SQL<< 10+ year member]

I am unsure what your setup is

1) how many subs do you have

2) what brand and model are they

We can give you a much better answer with that info

should say either 2 ohm something is wrong or 1/2 ohm if parallel

 

[akheathen Premium Member]

not if you are reading 1ohm..... check again. each sub should be + to one coil, and - to the other coil, and a jumper between the unused posts

should say either 2 ohm or 1/2 ohm

no, dual 4 coils= 2, or 8 ohms per sub

 

[05trailblazer 10+ year member]

i know but its at 1ohm not even 1.5 five just steady 1ohm the coils are fine

should say either 2 ohm or 1/2 ohm

 

[05trailblazer 10+ year member]

i did each sub say 3.9 both hooked up say 2.1 or 2.3

not if you are reading 1ohm..... check again. each sub should be + to one coil, and - to the other coil, and a jumper between the unused posts

if u have 4 dual4ohm subs and u got a 1ohm load from them. I would start checking all the coils independently. U got a bad coil somewhere. But to answer the other question if u meant to get a 1ohm load and ur amp is only 2ohm stable after box rise, and all you will be very close to a real 2ohm load prob a good bit higher then 2ohm thus no more issue
