Bassknucklehead626 Posted January 8, 2019 Report Posted January 8, 2019 I'm currently trying to run an 18" DJ subwoofer in my car but it sits at 8ohms and is a single voice coil sub. Is there any way to lower the impedance to 4ohms by jumping a wire from the negative to positive terminal? Not sure if this will hurt my amp and/or sub. Thanks in advance!

reedal Posted January 8, 2019 Report Posted January 8, 2019 What he said. Electricity takes the path of least resistance. Your subwoofer is the load that connects the negative and positive output of the amplifier. By placing a jumper between the inputs on that single voice coil woofer, you've now created a new path with almost no resistance, which will more than likely place your amp into protect mode, if it doesn't damage it. Your only option is either buy a second matching woofer, or buy a different model with a lower DCR.

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted January 8, 2019 Report Posted January 8, 2019 Do it, record the results for us. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
