Voice Coil Question


Recommended Posts

can my sub(soundstream d1) be ran on 1200 rms with one voice coil and not both?

That's why they don't deliver.

Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait.

You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start :D

I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

I wouldnt do it.

The sub is designed to run both coils, not just one.

besides, running 2 would be much better performance and durability.

so then pretty much get new subs if im gonna run higher then right?well then i want to get sum FI bls but the thing is should i go with d2 or d1 and the amp i want to go with is the audioque 2200.and i cant really run the soundsteams any lower since m,y amp dont go that low (hifonics)

How many subs do you have?

If you have 2 T4-15's with Dual 1 ohm coils you can wire them in series-parallel to get exactly 1 ohm...

If you can't work that out, you shouldn't even be considering BLs and 2200w amps.

yeah i do have two

just hte thing is in order for it to go down one ohm is that it'll be running on one voice coil that iam doin right now.

That's why they don't deliver.

This is why you shouldn't get a 2200w amp yet.

If you wire both coils on each sub in series you get 2 ohms per sub.

You wire those 2 subs in parallel and you get a 1 ohm final load.

You wire that to your amp and get 600wrms per sub, 300w per coil, and it's a lot better.
