Running 2 ohm with a 4 ohm


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have 4 Rockford T2 15's. Two are 2 ohm and two are 4 ohm. I am wanting to run all four in a fourth order box an I am concerned because the qts are slightly different. I can wire the two 4ohm subs to run at 2 ohms. But I don't really know what problems could arise. Any help would be appreciated.

Never mix different coils together on 1 amp. Now if you run 2 amps. 1 amp for the dual 2 subs and 1 for the dual 4 that would alright. I Think.....

Clip city bitch, clip clip city bitch. 10's, 12's, 15's, goin up in flames bitch.

dont bother mixing different impedence woofers at all... ok it can be done, but in general its a fruitless quest.

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through.

You'd need the same amount of power going to each individual woofer. You'd need at least 2 amps to do this.

These amps claim to do the same power at 1 ohm as they do at 2. So, maybe you could get two of these, and wire two of the same coiled subs in parallel on the same amp.

Yeah I figured it wasn't going to work with the amp I just bought. So now I must sell two of them and get two new ones. The build will happen. Thanks Guys!

Decided to go with 4 ohm Orion 15's. Since the rockfords won't work in a fourth order enclosure.
