DubNDodge Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Would wiring a D1 subwoofer to 2 ohms be a bad idea? I'm not 100% sure on how impedance rise works but wouldn't that double the rise? The lowest load I can put onto my next amp is 2 ohms. I was trying to find a D1, D4 or 2 D2s subwoofer(s) for my next build. But I'll cross off the D1 possibility if what I am figuring is correct.

TeamHT Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Wire it to 2 ohms nominal and call it a day Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubNDodge Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 really?.. so I was wrong about the impedance rise doubling? sorta was looking for a reason why. but I guess that works.

TeamHT Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 For the most part, rise will be the same. Music is dynamic so what you rise at at a given frequency changes dependant on frequency. If the lowest load the amp is stable at is 2 ohms, then just wire it there and enjoy. If you're truly worried about power output and woofer output, then match the rms. That's my $0.02 Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubNDodge Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 ok thanks for the info. But would wiring down or wiring up to certain impedance make a difference?

Trey_Dog650 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 The higher the ohm the more efficient the amp runs 13 Kia Forte Build! 07 Hyundai Accent Build ***Super Seller*** N8ball2013 And then he gets to say ok all you guys were right. im sorry for being a dummy poo poo head.

Socky Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 imp rise doesnt really matter unless you are competing and you need the most out of the amp.

DubNDodge Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Ok thanks, the plan was 1 hdc3 15" d1 wired to 2ohms on a 1200w @ 2ohm amplifier. Some people say that 1200w isn't enough for the hdc3 15. So I was more worried when I figured the impedance rise would double since I wired it higher instead of lower. Still planning though '01 Dodge Stratass Sealed Trunk Build Log 2008 Honda Fit Sport Build Log On 10/3/2013 at 10:00 AM, ROLEXrifleman said: Anyone who says they knew everything they wanted out of life at 19 can go suck a bag of dicks cause they are lying to themselves or brought up in a cult.

MrSkippyJ Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 why would the impedance rise double? I missed this somewhere.
