Learnin Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 im getting into car audio and am about to move to phx arizona ... going to try to apply at a shop and get going.... see if you can answer my question... im going to create a cenario ( im newb trying to learn) On a Crescendo BC5500D: Rated Power Output(RMS) Clean RMS power on 13.8v standard electrical system: Ohm Load BC5500d 1ohm 5800 2ohm 2800 4ohm 1500 and a DC XL 12 voice coils: D.7/D1/ D1.4/D2.... So the amp... if ran at 1 ohm, produces 5800 watts.... so you want to run 1 ohm or ive heard of running 0.5 ohms... "Stable down to .5ohm on strong electrical" right off crescendo website... the 12 has two voice coils so if you have dual 1ohm coils.... is that a 2 ohm off the amp? dual 0.7s = 1.4 ohms.... how does this work? ALSO IS THEIR A BOOK I CAN BUY TO LEARN A LOT OF STUFF LIKE THIS AND STUFF I NEED TO KNOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaBassHead Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 a d1 can be ran at either 0.5 or 2 ohms depending on how you wire the voice coils. parallel wiring would result in a 0.5 ohm load while series wiring would make it 2 ohms.

zxsonnyxz Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 First look up Ohms Law, then go to the general audio forum and look at the pinned "Snafu" posts.

IndianaBassHead Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 well everything you need to know can most likely be found in this forum with some research. d1 is dual 1 ohm. parallel wiring is + to + and - to - on the voice coils. series is + on one coil to - on the other. then the + and - left over go to the amp.
