Which is better, wiring a 2 ohm sub down to 1 ohm or a 4 ohm sub down to 1 ohm. Or does it even matter

[hazestorm23]

Are you only getting 1 or 2 subs?

Only 1 (SA-15)

You can't wire a 2 ohm sub to 1 ohm or a 4 ohm sub to 1 ohm

[matt.b]

You would need two 4ohm woofers to wire down to 1ohm but besides that it wouldn't make a difference

[SundownZ71]

Ah alright thanks

You can't wire a 2 ohm sub to 1 ohm or a 4 ohm sub to 1 ohm

one 2ohm dual voice coil in parallel would bring it down to 1ohm (don't know if that was a typo)

It wasn't

But you are correct on the first part

I thought you just made a simple mistake

Matt is assuming dual voice coils and noelito's first post was referring to single voice coils. If you have a woofer with 2 voice coils at 2 ohms each you can wire it in series to get 4 ohms or you can wire it in parallel to get 1 ohm. Now I'm sure you probably figured this out so I don't need to say it but a dual 4 ohm sub can be wired parallel to 2 ohms or in series to 8 ohms. If your subs have single voice coil configurations then they are what they are, no flexibility.
