Subwoofer Wiring Configuration, 4 Subs final 2-Ohm Load


Recommended Posts

Posted

Will it work? 4 Subs with a dual 2-Ohm to final 2-Ohm Load. It gets a little confusing, 2 DVC 2-Ohm subs wired in parallel & those parallel wired subs in a series wired configuration.

I am going to keep looking at it, but I am pretty sure that final load is not 2 ohms. Someone made a mistake.

Current system:

1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s

Previous systems:

2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz.

1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.

Pretty sure it is 1 ohm.

Each sub is wired as 1 ohm, then each pair of subs is in parallel (making each pair 0.5 ohms), then the 2 pairs are in series making the final load 1 ohm (0.5+0.5).

Or as you stated - (4) 2 ohm coils in parallel + (4) 2 ohm coils in parallel = 0.5 + 0.5 = 1 ohm.

Option 1 (series/parallel) = 1 ohm load
Voice coils wired in series, speakers wired in parallel
Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 1 ohm mono4_2ohm_dvc_1ohm.gif
Option 2 (parallel/series) = 4 ohm load
Voice coils wired in parallel, speakers wired in series
Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 4, 2, or 1 ohm mono4_2ohm_dvc_4ohm.gif

Are you sure,?!?! It is on the Rockford Fosgate Woofer Wiring Wizard.... :blink: JK, I made it myself just to show it.

Ha!!! I thought RF had made a mistake!
