jdshott Posted October 14, 2013 Report Posted October 14, 2013 So I have 4 15" JBL GT5 subs, wired in parallel. No matter what I do , I get a 1.9 to 2.0 Ohm reading on the dmm. If I am right I should be getting somewhere in the 1.0 to 1.5 ohm . Coil 1 reads 4.2 Coil 2 reads 4.3 Coil 3 reads 4.5 Coil 4 reads 4.5 I unhooked each sub to test the coils. I have them wired with 8ga to the amp . I had all subs hooked up when I tested the load @ the amp. And at the sub connections . Is my math wrong ? Or am I missing something else ? No 1 But me paid for this stuff and NO FREEBIES so no brand names (No Free Advertisement ) A SQ head unit 6 5.25 2 X 6x9s 7804 P400.4 4001D 1 34s (Maybe time to change brand) 4 X 15" s !/0 @ 2/0 OFC Wiring :morepower1: :morepower1: ill say it like i always say it. F##K the DD-1. I don't care if you or anyone buys one. (well i do, but that isn't my point) Get an O-scope in the very minimum and learn how to use it or you are just guessing your settings like every other noob. once you master the O-scope then step up to a DD-1 or even better a DD-1 Plus.
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted October 14, 2013 Report Posted October 14, 2013 How much resistance do the leads for your dmm have? That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

jdshott Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Posted October 14, 2013 I was un aware of the leads having any resistance. the fact I used two diff meters and got the same results No 1 But me paid for this stuff and NO FREEBIES so no brand names (No Free Advertisement ) A SQ head unit 6 5.25 2 X 6x9s 7804 P400.4 4001D 1 34s (Maybe time to change brand) 4 X 15" s !/0 @ 2/0 OFC Wiring :morepower1: :morepower1: ill say it like i always say it.
