D2 sa 12's wont play @ 2 ohms WHY?


Recommended Posts

i have 2 dual 2 ohm 12'' SA12's from day 1 of purchase i wired them at 2 ohms on my trx700d which will put out 530 rms. they didn't play so i figured it wasn't enough power to power them so i re wired them to .5 oms and they played @.5 ohms my amp gives them 700 rms. i just bought a new Vibe Blackbox Bass 5 amp that puts out 1500 rms @ 2 ohms i wired my subs to 2 ohms for 1500 rms and they didn't play so i wired them back to .5 ohms and then they played. can some 1 tell me why my subs won't play on a 2 ohm load, please my subs are not even 3 months old and i don't want to have them wired at such a low load because of SQ i would like them at 2 ohms, but they wont play at 2 ohms please some 1 explain this to me if you can thank you.

ohm's law. Your subs do whatever you tell them to. my guess is that it is your amp/other that was going on during your install.

Are you 100% sure you wired @ a 2 ohm load? if they worked @ .5 they will work @ 2....unless you have a bad coil....pull up woofer wiring diagram @ 12volt.com...and check.....

So if he had a bad coil it would still play at .5 ohm?
