mrd6 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 I already researched this on my own but couldn't seem to find a solid answer. So, say your are wired to a 1 ohm load and after clamping you measure a box rise to 2.5ohms. This means you have a rise of 2.5 times. Now say you want to get your reactive load lower than 2.5 to get more power to your subs, so you rewire down to .5. ( I realize wiring from 1 ohm down to .5 ohms isnt usually possible but go with it just for discussion sake) Now here is the question: Is box rise a linear relationship? I.e. would the rise remain a 2.5 multiplier so when wired to .5, rise brings it to 1.25ohms reactive? I would test this on my own but don't have access to a clampmeter. The physics behind box rise interests me so this is more just for my curiosity until i upgrade but this could also be a useful thread for anyone else trying to learn My Build Log: http://www.stevemead...-sundown-power/ Team NorthWestSPL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byers319 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 iirc it is NOT a linear relationship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
