CJSmith Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 I'm doing a rebuild with 24 12's that are D4's and I'll be using 3 amps. What are my wiring options as far as Impedance? Thanks. Quote *Rebuid in progress*
bassface Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 looks like if you series all the voice coils then wire 8 subs in parralel you end up with 1 ohm. Quote
bassface Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 each sub when wired n series would be 8 ohms, 8 subs at 8 ohms divided by eight = 1. Quote
CJSmith Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Posted July 11, 2012 Thanks bro, I'm not exactly sure how to do that so I'll have to do a bit of reading. I'm just used to wiring in series or parallel. Quote *Rebuid in progress*
CJSmith Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Posted July 11, 2012 I'll be doing 8 D4 subs on each amp. I would like to be wired to .5 or 1 ohm final Quote *Rebuid in progress*
bassface Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 Yeah man its the same as series parralel but with 8 subs, wire the voice coils in series on each sub, then wire all the subs together in parralel. Quote
CJSmith Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Posted July 11, 2012 Ok, thanks bro. Quote *Rebuid in progress*
bassface Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 use a meter also man, to wire voice coils in series you basically just connect the negative and positive of one coil together, then use the other voice coil set of wires to connect with all the other subs. Quote
Ray Posted July 11, 2012 Report Posted July 11, 2012 Really shocked at people that do 24 sub builds but cant wire a woofer.
