Is it possible to wire these two subs together?


Recommended Posts

Ok So I have these 2 speakers laying around in a box, nothing important here besides the fact that one is a dvc 4ohm and the other is a single vc 8ohm.

Now can I wire that dvc 4ohm in series to go up to 8ohms so then I would have 2 speakers each at 8 ohms and wire them in parallel down to 4 ohms? And will each receive the same power?

Here is a quick sketch to show what I mean.

Any answers are appreciated, thanks.

I dont know anything about wiring up speakers with different impedance.

Ok, but on the left of the diagram when I wire that dual voice coil 4 ohm sub in series wont the sub be at 8ohms now?

And since both subs are now at 8 ohms, cant I just bridge them and I will end up with a final impedance of 4?

I'm hoping to learn from this, not trying to prove anyone wrong, I just dont know anything about this, trying to get some answers.

Thanks

Well its not really a matter of if its possible its a matter of how long the equippment wil last. I'm guessing the subs are not the same model but if they are in seperate boxes you can hook your subs up like you want, just make sure that one is not being pushed too hard.

I'm aware they are different ohm loads, but what I want answered

1. would the final ohm load not be 4 ohms?

2. would each speaker get different amount of power?

1. Yes the final ohm load will be 4.

2. Should only be a slight difference between the two.

As i said before just put them in different boxes and you will be fine.
