wiring DVC 4 ohms in series?

[x2o 10+ year member]

HOW?
one question how do you get .5 ohm load out of a single 4ohm DVC sub

last i checked a single DVC 4ohm sub can only give you a load of 2ohm(coils wired in parallel) or 8ohm(coils wired in series)

You are correct C3. Unless there is some top-secret wiring method involving multiple flux capacitors, you can only wire in series or in parallel. Thus, each D4 sub can only give 8Ω or 2Ω as you stated. Idk what Linx is talking about.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

In case anyone is making this unclear, you want to parallel each sub to 2Ω, then parallel sub 1 to sub 2 getting a 1Ω final load. Well, nominal at least //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif.

Well he is obviously talking about when you tie knots in the wire it lowers the impedance //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Oh ****, I forgot all about that... I think that's one of the first things learned in MECP basic training //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif.. Can't believe I let that one slip my mind //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

Wire it this way

Edit: man I'm slow today. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Oh, I know what I did wrong.

forgot to divide by 1 at the begginning. lol.

so 1/(1/4*2) = 2ohms.

So yes what I posted is 4 ohms.

Ouch.

OP, I'm not sure what this would cause, but please don't do it.

This is what you need to do...

No, use this diagram:

NO that's not what you did wrong.

Your trying TOO hard, and confusing everyone.

Wiring Speakers is so easy it's retarded.

For the OP, Just put all the + together and all the - together and plug them in their proper place on the amp. Parallel-Parallel. Also OP you most certainly CAN use those jumpers that came with your subs. They were designed for that.

Also if you need your manual for your sub, it can be found on Alpine's website.
