I would like to hear an explanation from someone on this matter that has first hand knowledge and can explain in a way that makes sense in simple way.

If an fi d2 coil reads 1.4, that should not apply only to fi, that should apply to every coil unless fi does something different that I don't know about.

Bro, i was told, a d1 will read lower. Like around .7

i was told a d2 will read at 1.4

im loading,... and dont care anymore.... lol...

Im sorry if i was a cock. But, i was in cock mood...

You are reading DC resistance with a meter, not AC impedance. When you put a meter on a coil, you are just getting the resistance of the wire. As AC is applied, the coil acts like an inductor and changes the impedance with different frequencies. The impedance rating of the sub is an average over its operating frequency range, including a very large spike at the driver's Fs.

I just want something other than "I was told". I am curious about this, not trying to be an ass, just want to understand.

The way it makes sense to me now is that this should apply to not only fi coils, but dc, sundown, etc.

On all of the dc subs i have ever owned(a lot of them), they have all read exactly what they were supposed to. D2 read 2.0. Under this thinking, if I have a coil from dc reading 2.0, then it would actually be a 2.7ish. I am just looking for clarification on this matter, that is all.

If this is the case, then how do I read ac impedance? If this is the right way to read coil impedance, then the industry is doing it wrong.
