Noobish Question

[str8outtaneb]

what is the difference between 2 and 4 and 1 and all that which is best... etc.

[camino_1to3]

Impedence.. a.k.a resistence.

The less Ohms, the less resist, the more power getting to whatever you want to power.

Get it?

diff ohm loads can be wired down different

Dual 4 Ohm - 2 ohm or 8 ohm i think

Dual 2 ohm - 1 ohm or 4 ohm

Dual 1 ohm - 2 ohm or 8 ohm i think

diff ohm loads can be wired down different

Dual 4 Ohm - 2 ohm or 8 ohm

Dual 2 ohm - 1 ohm or 4 ohm

Dual 1 ohm - .5 ohm or 2 ohm

fixed em for ya

Dual 1 ohm - 2 ohm or 8 ohm i think

Dual 4 Ohm - 2 ohm or 8 ohm i think (correct)

Dual 2 ohm - 1 ohm or 4 ohm (correct)

Dual 1 ohm - 2 ohm or 8 ohm i think (Wrong)

Dual 1 ohm is 2 ohm or 0.5 ohm.

no, like what is the difference

[ALPINE408]

no, like what is the difference

There is no difference other than getting ohm loads

A Fi btl dual 1 and dual 2 are the exact same sub just your able to drop the dual 1 to a lower ohm

im guessing its the length of the wire thats wound in the coil the longer the wire the more resistance.

[camino_1to3]

The lower the Ohm rating (impedence or resistence), whatever you want to call it, the more power that can theoretically be harnessed.

If you wire a D1 at 2 ohms, it won't recieve the same power as if it was wired 1/2 ohm.

Think about it being like the nozzles people put on the end of water hoses. Towards the higher end of the spectrum (number wise) you get the more misty, lower power spray. Scale down to the latter, and you're on the jet setting, or power washing.

Or a water faucet;

Water: Voltage

Nozzle: Resistence

Pressure: Amperage

For the most part, no matter what you set that nozzle to the same amount of water (energy) is going to get through, though your chosen setting is what initially determines how efficiently that water (energy, again) is going to get where it's going.

However your amp will run hotter on a lower Ohm load (because you are pumping more power through it) and you will have higher distortion from the amp.

But from the subs point of view XXXX watts into 2 Ohms is the same as XXXX watts into 4 ohms.
