Can't get mtx 9500 to 2 ohms!


Recommended Posts

make sure your meter doesnt have internal resistance.

I think you've got a SVC Thunder 9500.

by the sounds of it he has two negatives and two positives so i dont think that would be correct.

Post up some pictures and we can better assist you.

I can get close to a 4 ohm reading from and positive terminal to any negative on this sub. If its dual VC wouldn't I get a 0 ohm reading from one of the positives to one of the negatives?

no, because when one of them is pos to neg, that is part of wiring a sub in series.

just do what is said.

Positive from coil 1 to positive on coil 2, then negative on coil 1 to negative on coil 2. Then put your meters positive prong into the positive on coil 2, then the negative prong to the negative of coil 2. it should read 1.8-2.2 ohms. If it reads ~3, connect the two prongs of the meter together and wait and see what ohm load comes up. report back with these two numbers.

PICS OF SAID SUB WOULD HELP.

EDIT: some SVC subs have two positives and negative to help wiring multiple subs together so you dont have to jam 2 10ga wires into 1 10ga terminal.

look on the bottom of the sub

if the model ends in 22 or 44 its a dual voice coil

if the model ends in 02 or 04 its a single voice coil

re of single coil is 3.66

re of dual coil is 3.42

Well I think that solves my problem. It's a sticker on the sub under the connectors and ends in 04. Well that blows donkey dick. Thanks for the help everyone
