akrja_07 Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 how do dual 1's wire to be 1.3 ohms? Well, I wired each sub up to 2 ohms and bridged them together which should have given me 1 ohm, but I got 1.3...??

I did but it was a month or so ago. I believe they all read 4 or 4.1 EDIT 1 OR 1.1 NOT 4 LOL...

akrja_07 Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 If they are d1 coils for sure lv4. I have had stock lv3 12s on a Stetsom 4k2d and a customer with lv3 12s on a DC 3000.1 both setups slammed! Can I ask why you say this? I assume dual 1 ohm coils are not available on stock level 3's?

ChevyBoy95 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 coils read .2 to .1 off usually, and there can be internal resistance in a dmm. When i put the positive and negative prongs together it reads 1.1 ohms. So when i wire to 2 ohms, it will say 3.1 ohms. fyi Quote Best Score to Date : 160.5 dB Outlaw (47Hz)[4 XM 15's & 2 Taramps Bass 12k's] BL : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/147800-chevyboy95s-4-15s-7krms-wall-1533-db-on-half-power/YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/hitemwiththeflex/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
