Selectable impedance subwoofer

Actually I think this is kind of a neat idea. Seems like it would help out people who are easily confused or just don't have the knowledge we do when it comes to dealing with this stuff. I know most/all of us have no need/want/use for it, but I can definitely see the market

I think RF is doing this too for 2013. Instead of a switch, it's a removable plug with metal prongs. Flip it and changes impedance

I think it's way easier than running wires lol

Glad to hear RF is doing the it also. No way am I buying a Kicker

Alpine had this kind of thing with the wires that were connected by banana plugs to the speaker terminals where you could switch impedance loads but you could always mess that up and put it in the wrong terminal if you didnt know how to wire them up. Still a nice feature.

I've seen people try to wire up and they end up wiring to a dead short or they wire their coils out of phase

exactly, i have seen that too which is why this idea is so much safer. I just wonder how much power that those switches can handle, granted its only a 800w rms woofer (bahahaa, yeah right) im sure switches will not like to see a ton of power being fed through them for very long.

boston did this at some point, but they used movable fuses

The only way to delete your SMD account is for you crawl to steve meades door step on your knees and pleade for his forgiveness and acceptance to be released...He will either grant your wishes.....or choke you with a large piece of 0 gauge and electrocute you by hooking up a solid gold DC 12k at 0.000001 ohm and 10000 volts to your eye sockets and blow your head apart

You guys act like you have never clogged a toilet and ran around the bathroom frantically hoping it don't overflow.
