Different Ohmage

[EricR]

If i have a dual 2 ohm sub and a dual 1 ohm sub and i wire the dual 2 ohm paralell making it 1 ohm then wire the dual 1 ohm paralell making it .5 ohm then i wire the 2 in paralell what ohm would that be and if i wire them series what would it be.....confused on the series and paralelling of different ohms

[Chris]

0.3333333333333 ohms. for parallel

1.5ohms for series

ah i see said the blind man.....you got a ohm calculator or sumthin lol

Just remember this:

For parallel, take the individual resistance for each sub & divide 1 by it. Do that for each sub you want to wire in parallel so say 1/1ohm =1 + 1/.5ohm=2 Then add up you answers and divid 1 by that: 1+2=3 so 1/3=0.33333333333333333(to infinity) Your total resistant load should be LESS than the smallest resistance IN your circuit (in this case it should be smaller than .5ohms)

For series, all you do is add up all your resistances to find the total load.
