[QUOTE="XTRProBoy, post: 2448627, member: 571009"] If they're wired like they are in the picture that looks like the coils of each driver are wired in series and then the drivers are paralleled together. If the drivers are dual 1 ohm coils, wouldn't you get a 1-ohm total impedance like that? I.e. One driver with it's coils wired in series would give you 2-ohms. Wire two of them like that and then in parallel with each other and you get to 1-ohm. I'm not sure how you're arriving at this .7-ohm figure but I don't see anyway you'd get that if both drivers are dual 1-ohm coil subs. The only total impedances you can get with two 1-ohm DVC subs (wired together for equal power split) are: 4, 1 (two ways of getting to this impedance), and .25 ohms. How did you calculate .7 ohms? Anyway also remember that your meter is measuring DC [I]resistance[/I] when you put it on the speaker wires, not [I]impedance[/I] (which is an AC value and varies on speakers throughout the frequency range). So 1.3 Ohms on the meter sounds about right for wiring the subs for an impedance of 1 ohm. [/QUOTE]
