wiring question

[wafsman 10+ year member]

i am curious about the ohm load that this particular wiring setup would produce. the colors have no significance, just tried to make it easier to read. and yes, it does say two dual 4 and two dual 6.

anybody?

5 ohms? not too positive on that so hopefully someone else may tune in on that one

2 dual 4 ohm would be either 1 or 4.

2 dual 6 would either be 6 or 3.

might come out to 4 ohm.

but why bother, just get the same subs with all the right Ohm loads.

0.6 ohms

R(total) = 1 / ((1/r1) + (1/r2) + (1/r3) ... (1/rn))

R(total) = 1 / ((1/4) + (1/4) + (1/4) + (1/4) + (1/6) + (1/6) + (1/6) + (1/6))

R(total) = 1 / (1 + .66666)

R(total) = 0.6

0.6 ohms

R(total) = 1 / ((1/4) + (1/4) + (1/4) + (1/4) + (1/6) + (1/6) + (1/6) + (1/6))

R(total) = 1 / (1 + .66666)

R(total) = 0.6

The picture is a series/parallel, not parallel/parallel.

I got 10 ohms.

This... Makes no sense to get woofers with different coils.

it's just what i had laying around, but i think that i may go with just using two of them. i have two 12" JL Audio 12W3D4's and two 12" American Bass VFL1266's. right now the amplifiers i have to choose from are a JL Audio 250/1 and a Rockford Punch 800.2, which would you go with?

Just use either pair in a setup, please do not use both pairs in the same setup.
