Wiring 8+ DVC subs together, any calcs out there capable??

[CoilBurner]

Im looking for a calc that would allow me to get the final impedance and maybe hopefully a wiring diagram for wiring multiples of subwoofers.

Looking for help on wiring say 12 DVC 4 ohm subs, or 5 single voice coil 4ohm speakers and stuff like that.

Is there such a calculator out there?? Most seem to stop @ 6 subwoofers at the most

That's because anything above 6 subwoofers is impossible.

the calcs arent for dvc subs so just use the combined ohms of the coils for each sub.

sarcasm at its best. LOL

as far as the wiring diagrams go.......... if you need a diagram to wire subs , you should probably leave that job to someone else. LOL. not being mean just blunt.

Id like a calc for 12 subs, and a diagram would be nice. I dont quite always get series/parallel and just having a calc capable of spitting me quick numbers would be nice

What can 10 and 12 DVC woofers run at then??

Dude you are just beating yourself up at this point. With 10+ woofers(especially DVC) you can get pretty much any load you want, 1, 2, 4, etc. I was going to try and be smart and list them but I started to get a headache. Now with "impedance rise" who knows.

well id love some help seeing what I can wire to

Me understanding would be great to

Id love to wire to .5

it can be done or dang near close. 12 D4s will wire to 2 each.. so thats like (12) 2ohm subs.. you can parallel pairs to make (6) 1ohm loads.. then parallel pairs to make 3 .5s... then parallel 2 to make a .25 and series that hoe with a .5 to make it .75.. safe side.

.... what the faulk

I dont understand that

Your best bet is going to wire the subs in pairs/quads. For example, if you have 12 4ohm DVC, you can choose to wire each one to 2ohms or 8 ohms. Then from there, you could wire them in pairs. Wire 2 in series to 4 ohms (wire both subs down to 2 then back up to 4). Now you have, in essence, 6x 4 ohm subs. If you wired them all in parallel you would see a final ohm load of 0.67. (4 ohms / 6 subs = 0.67ohms)

I honestly cant visualize that. Didnt know you could wire like that

seriously, how do I wire this
