wmrcs Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 What are my impedance options with 3 dual 4 ohm subs? Quote E34 540iT/6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega5002 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) 6 ohms(dvc's in parallel, subs in series), .6667 ohms (dvc's in parallel, subs in parallel), 2.667 ohms (dvc's in series, subs in parallel) 1.333 ohms (2 dvc's in series, 1 dvc in parallel, subs in parallel) .8889 ohms (2 dvc's parallel, 1 dvc in series, subs in parallel) 3 ohms (good for JL amps) ( dvc's in parallel, 2 subs in parallel, and then put them in series with the 3rd one) Weird numbers come when you go in triple.

Wow that is quite weird.. thanks! Quote E34 540iT/6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZTYBRN Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Your only options are really .67 and 2.67. 6 ohms too but that's kinda high. You wanna keep the voice coils wired together the same way on all 3 subs, otherwise they will get unequal amounts of power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier to read? Yeah, but still wrong OP, go HERE for wiring options. Pick the number of subs and the coil configs and it will give you all your CORRECT options. EDIT: Except under 1 ohm I guess just tried it to see. Edited January 26, 2012 by Lbox88 Quote UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmrcs Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Thanks. I'm either going to get an extra 3 subs to run 4 or I'll run at the 2.667 Quote E34 540iT/6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega5002 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Yeah, sorry about the mis-information on half of them, was trying to give every possibility on wiring option, which I did by hand, forgot not every wiring will work properly, though having an odd number of subs will bring odd numbers.
