How to wire to half ohm?


Raptorman

Recommended Posts

I have a single D4 sub. Was wondering if it was even possible to wire it to .5, and if so, how would I do so? I've scoured everywhere and cannot find a guide for it.

No I will not be turning the gains all the way up, I'm only going to be pushing around 1750rms while at .5 and the amp is rated for 2100 at 1 ohm. So I'm being conservative.

Just would like a straight-forward answer, not the typical (If you don't know don't try it) thing. Thank you!

Ah, that's disappointing, and sorry! I couldn't find anything on it, haha. Thank you though.

dafuq? how will you only be pushing 1750rms at .5 when the amp is rated at 2100 at 1 ohm why do you want to go to .5? anyways

thanks for the laugh tho

Have you ever had your woofers blown?

what alpine said. even with another d4 woofer you wont be able to wire to .5, you will either need 2 dual 2 subs or one dual 1 woofer. even then i wouldnt run your amp at .5. im not sure how you figured you would only get 1750 @ .5 when its rated for 2100 @ 1

Because I would turn the gains down using a DMM and the ohms law calculator to tune to the ACV that gives me 1750 at .5...

I'm currently wired to 2 ohm, and only getting around 1300rms. I was wanting to try out a lower ohm load if it were possible.
