Supercharged DCs Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 4ohms is 4ohms, what do you mean regular? Different people run amps at different impedance levels depending on where they are stable at, what subwoofers they have, whether r not they are competing... You have a lot to learn mate, please change your op so people won't mock you... Quote Bassless once again.

Supercharged DCs Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Holy triple post... And the average person will still run their amplifier at various impedance levels, depending on the number of subs, voice coil configurations, power of the amplifier, electrical system, and other variables. Some amps aren't stable below 2ohms, some are stable at .5ohm, some even lower than that. It all depends on what your setup looks like mate... Ideally, if the amp is 2ohm stable, you'll want to run at 2ohm to get the full power out of it. Same thing applies with 1ohm stable amps. Quote Bassless once again.

bumonskateboard6 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 I wasn't trying to be sarcastic or step on your toes. On the internet no one initially knows how old you are, and there have been smart asses that have came through here trying to troll people with questions like that just to get laughs. Don't worry no hard feelings towards you, read around here and you'll learn a lot of stuff and end up throwing more money at this hobby than you'd ever imagine haha. First thing is learning impedance. That's the resistivity in the coil of the speaker, some speakers have one voice coil, some have two, a hand full of them have four. It all comes down to following a basic principle of physics called Ohm's law, hence why speakers are rated in "ohms". Coils in a speaker can be wired in series or parallel, and multiple speakers can be wired in parallel or series, or a combination of both. For example 2 4ohm single voice coil speakers wired in parallel produce a 2ohm resistance where as if they were wired in series they'd be an 8ohm load.

Low voltage doesn't blow amps. That's a myth. A router that does the sub holes makes rounded edges also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winn Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) But the lower impediance is the harder it is on your electrical so would like 4 ohms be like i guess just regular? No lower you go the higher the resistance is Edited April 28, 2011 by Winn Quote You know how you avoid that?

Supercharged DCs Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 If you want to learn about installations, I definitely recommend looking at the build logs here, you will learn A TON! I knew nothing when I came to this site, and though I'm still a novice I have the basics down. Everyone starts somewhere mate Quote Bassless once again.
