nominal is what people should worry about when determining the proper load to amplifiers. ie d1,d2,d4,s4,s8 etc etc

dcr is what you see with the DMM and came about from the competition scene.

normal people with everyday daily setups should just worry about nominal loads, because that's all you need to worry about. since there are alot of competitors on here, dcr is used openly and it has been confusing for alot of people.

Local hobby store(somewhere that carries remote control planes and cars, the black CA glue is what they use to glue their rubber tires to the rims)... that's where we get it when we run out :)

i tryed to tell ya what was up over there that things were alot better... my havoc i showed you had the same kinda joints and tinsels

Thats whats up, not really sure why they write D2 on their recones when I have it on mine and it says 1.4 on a dmm?

Ive heard of alot of people ordering d2s and they came out the same way.

weird..

Because we have 100 thousand coils hanging around and we run 2 shifts...

If you do not write on the coils what they are and what not then they do not get set up properly..and things get lost. All of our D1 coils are .75's and the D2's are 1.4's...we do have some OEM clients that have different coils then that that are true dual 1's and true dual 2's...but that's mainly because the amplifiers suck and can't handle the little less DCR.

It's a control feature...in house.

Because when you measure, you are measuring DC resistance. That is not the same thing as AC impedance.

The voice coil has in inductance, so when AC is applied, the "resistance" is not the same as the DC resistance.

When you are playing music on the coil, the amp will see an impedance, not DC resistance.

Current system:

1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s

Previous systems:

2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz.

1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.

Thanks for clearing that up, I've also been wondering why all my coils read 1.4 ohm on the DMM, but i suppose thats normal with dual 1 subs, right?
