Another Stupid Question About Box Rise


Gutta Trash

Recommended Posts

I'm currently deciding between a 1 ohm and 2 ohm version of the same amplifier. The to own seems better suited for my build but I have a question about rise. If I am running an amp at 1 ohm and rise to 5 ohms does that mean that if I run an amp at 2 ohms I would rise to six or seven ohms? Or would the rise stay the same. As you can imagine this would weigh my decision on which to go with. TIA

Legitimate question.  Check out this thread:

Check out the second post for an answer to your question.  The characteristic shape of the impedance curve stays relatively the same.  If you are currently wired to 1ohm and rise to 5, then if you're wired to 2ohm you should rise to 10.

What frequency are you rising to 5 at?  I dont think you're rising that high across your frequency spectrum, it must be just at a few points/frequencies, right?
