BigChief247 Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Since I never see this configuration suggested, I'm assuming it's not recommended, but can someone tell me what the problem would be with it. Also what ohm load would it produce using dual 4 ohm subs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mothra Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 it's not done b/c the loads is so high you'll get little to no output from your amp. the example you give of a pair of dual 4 ohm subs would yield a 16 ohm load. let's say you have an amp that does 1000 @ 1 ohm. at 16 ohms that amp will likely only produce around 60 watts. if nothing changes, nothing changes You don't know what you don't know, till you don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigChief247 Posted September 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 Thanks for the replies. I wasn't sure if it would result in 8 ohm, 2 ohm, or something else. And yea, it does kinda look like Johnny 5 lol. I was trying to figure out a way to wire up 2 dual 4 ohm subs and get a 2 ohm load, but doesn't look like it's possible.

reedal Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 You can wire to 4ohm series/parallel or 1ohm parallel SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
