what it means when a coil reads high?

[brmcm15 10+ year member]

on my level 4 its supposed to be dual 2 ohms. I know that sometimes they don't read exactly 2 ohms, but one side is about 1.9 and the other reads 2.9 - 3ohms?

why is it reading this way?

sounds like you may have a damaged coil for the impedance to rise 1ohm, can you see the coil how does it look and are you testing at the subs terminals or through the wire to the sub?

I'm going to say bad coil. Both coils are in the same gap so there shouldn't be a big difference, esp 1 whole ohm.

you turned the gain up a bit too high and then you turned the volume way up and the moofer was like

terminals.

i looked at the top part of the coil and it looked a little black, ill try and get a pic to show you what im talking about

havent hooked it up yet, just got it in a trade

yea recone time....ill buy it from ya blown tho...im lookin for another LVL 4 motor.

a couple tenths change is ok....anything over like .3 change isnt good.

but for real PM me if you wanna sale it blown

If one coil was beginning to cook a little, the exessive heat may have altered the properties of that section of the circut, resulting in a little extra resistance.

if the sub is brand new and reading like that it's workmanship.

i got it from spy in a trade

http://www.caraudio.com/forum/car-audio-classifieds/476228-fs-dd-rf-tc-dc-jl-alpine-eclipse-ss-subs-amps-boxes-60-tv.html

its already been reconed by someone before spy.

heres what the coils are reading now

and im pretty sure he didn't want to recone it to a d4

 

[goingdef 10+ year member]

and it's supposed to be a d2, ya you might be able to play with it until you get a recone but there is something wrong even if it is supposed to be d4 still not close to right

i don't believe dc makes d4 level 4's but i could be wrong

Dual 3? lol If it plays i wouldn't care too much.....

Recone it if you don't like it.....
