Jeffl Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Got a new re audio srx 12 inch dual 2 ohm I wired it 4ohm but when I test my wires going to the amp it reads 6.8 ohms. I double checked the box and it states dual 2 ohm not the 4 ohm one. Anyone had this problem with the srx 12? Or any other sub? Did I just mess up the wiring or r they just high? Any thoughts?

Any thoughts? i had 2 12'' srx subs on 1000 rms and loved them!! never had a problem intell i put 2 k rms on each then poped them. they take some power alot more then the RMS on them....

Twistedchild420 Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Sounds a little too high.....double check your wiring here http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard.asp?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 If everything checks out ......try using a different multi- meter Quote My POS Bass machine-2003 Hyundai Santa Fe on some shitty 22'sBed Liner Paint Job-Pioneer AVH 3200DVD4 DAD BD series 15's in a 4th Order (Bassheads ENT Design)4 Arc Audio XDI2000.1 for the woofers6 Cadence CVL68MBX 6.5's-Cadence CVL88MBX 8's-6 Cadence XT20 Supertweeters2 Arc Audio KS300.4's for mids and tweets1 Arc Audio ALD 10v Line DriverAll Audiotechnix Power wire1 DC Power 270XP High Output Alternator1 XS Power D3400 up front....6 XS Power D3100's in the rearAir Lift 1000 Bags in rear to help with suspensionIf your still reading this GFY.......

Jeffl Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Only running ~300rms to them until I figure this out, I don't want to have the wiring messed up and blow it before I can give them any real power. What sized box were using? Just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffl Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Checked using that site and I have it wired "right" never had any issues with this ddm, check my other subs with it and it's spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptorman Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Test the resistance of your prongs first, touch them together and see what the ohm reading comes out to. Then measure the subs normally and subtract that number from the ohm reading of the subs and you'll get the correct reading.

I just tried and it sits at .1 so the subs ohm is still reading high Edited August 9, 2012 by Jeffl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffl Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Yeah they play with power, but the amp would have nothing to do with the subs ohm readings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
