LoudNLow931 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 (edited) They are 2 dual 1 subs. Both subs are wired in series parallel, one reads 2.0 like it should. The other reads 18.5-19.0 then when I hook them both together it reads 1.8-2.0... All the coils read 1.0 before I put it in on both subs. They are brand new, never seen power...

n8ball2013 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 meter each coil seperately don't forget to take out your lead resistance.

kickass audio Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Just to double check im sure you are smart enough to notice this though, but are you reading it with the amps off? I tried to read mine once with absolutely no sound going through and i forgot my headunit was still on and my resistance was fluctuating quite a bit until i shut it off completely and it read like normal. One thing you can try to do would be to measure each coil independent from each other to see if any coils have a problem, then hook each sub up in series but keep them seperate from eachother for the moment and see what they read. Each sub should read about 2 ohms when its wired in series and NOT connected to the other sub. If it does then repeat this to the other sub and see what it does. I had this problem before and i just brushed it off like its nothing and later in the day after i played them for a little it somehow fixed itself and my resistance was back to normal.

CJ18 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 just want to see how they are wired with the dmm reading when they are wired. I have had a similar problem before and I just had a bad piece of wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudNLow931 Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 I'm grabbing something to eat then when I get home ill test each coil separate. Yesterday they read fine so that's why I'm confused.

Yesterday they read fine so that's why I'm confused. do you happen to have each coil on the sub wired to an independent bolt somewhere on the box? I did that with my sub and it is a hell of a lot easier to swap the sub from series to parallel without taking the sub out, plus i can troubleshoot it a lot easier too. If you have it set like this with each terminal of the sub going to its own bolt or wire on the box then just troubleshoot it from there.

LoudNLow931 Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 OK I pulled it out and one coil read fine and the other one said 31.3. So I messed with the tensel leads and it dropped to 7.xx so I squeezed the tensel leads down on the terminal and it dropped to 1.1 then I let go and back up to 6.xx so I re soldered the tensels to the terminal and its sitting at 1.1 now. I think It might have been a bad solder connection?

kickass audio Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 sounds like it or maybe it cracked loose a little bit. It could have just cracked loose or may have had a cold solder connection.
