Hifonics 0.5

[byers319]

You miss the part where you are not at .5 you are actually at .35?

How did I get that low and how do I just fix it?

The coil isn't 1 it's .7

It's bc Fi's impedance are lower than 1 and 2 ohms. The 2 ohms are 1.4 and the 1 ohm are .7. So if you wire the D1 down its .35 and not .5. It should say that on the site under the specs of the sub. Just wire the sub up to 2 ohms (1.4) and you shouldn't have any problems at all

So I just went out there to check the Ohm level, and when the amp isnt on, its at 0.8 ohms. When the amp is on its at 3.1 while low volume. at full bass it fluctuates. it goes from 3.1 to 14 then to 1.6 then 0.3. It usually stays between 3.1 and 1.6

ehm...what?

so read the coils...if it says 0,8 its for wach coil so you get dual 0,8(0,7) you dont get higher ohm impendance if you get on a higher volume

so you need to get the proper wiring from sub to amp.. and then test it

anyway...you lost me for some time

I read the coils. they are .8

yeah but your explanation when the amp and the volume is on(or up) does not make any sense

you cant read coils when the cone is moving.

You wont know until you find out yourself. Every setup is different, even if it worked for someone else fine it doesn't mean it will work ok for you. My amp is cheap and rated only down to 1 ohm but its been running .5 ohm for a few months now np. You never know.

Sorry. The multimeter was fluctuating a bunch for some reason man. Right now it is at a steady .8

I would not run it at anything below 1 ohm. i am currently using a zues 3200 and it likes to get warm even when i am listening at low volume levels.

Considering i have a little higher output alternator than most stock vehicles (160 amp) plus 4 batteries total. When i recently clamped the system, I only got 975 watts into a wired 1 ohm load (actual measured was 1.5 ohm).

I would have to guess when you saw the resistance go up when playing music is the result of box rise. On my system even though i have it wired to a measured 1.5 ohm load, at some frequencies i am up around 3.5 ohms due to box rise. If you hook your DMM up to the sub and by hand move the cone you will also see the resistance fluctuate and change.

Just a side note

when measuring a voice coils dc resistance, you really need to make sure that its fairly quiet. any noise around you at the time will cause the cone and motor to move and that will cause changes in the measured resistance.
