Formula

[Nate197]

What is the formula for calculating wiring configurations instead of using the woofer wiring wizard or any program. I am curious about how to wire like 12 subs and I need the formula. Thanks

i am pretty sure its;

parallel

1/x = 1/n1 + 1/n2 + 1/n3 + ......

where x is the final ohm load and the n's are the impedance of the loads your are wiring in parallel

series

x= n1+n2+n3+.....

x is final ohm load, n's are the loads you are wiring in series.

x is the resistance per coil and RT is resistance total, for series you just add them

same thing, different format [this one is simpler]

Can you show me an example with two dual 2 ohm subs. Thanks

[hotshot27]

depends on what you want for a final load.

all series = 8ohms = 2+2+2+2

series and parallel = 2ohms = [1/ { (1/2)+(1/2) } ] + [1/ { (1/2)+(1/2) } ]

all parallel = .5 ohms = 1/ [ (1/2) + (1/2) + (1/2) + (1/2) ]

this is really confusing i know, maybe you can follow the parathesis [sp?]
