ccrider540 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 alright so ive been trying to figure this out but im not sure and id like some second opinions just to clarify. so im trying to get down to a 1 ohm load with 2 subs. I was looking at getting the 15" havocs from Ascedent Audio and they are only dual 2 ohm coils and when i went to the rockford fosgate website to use their wiring wizard it said i could only get a .5,2, or 8 ohm load. now i was thinking, if i wire both subs up in parallel and have give them there own terminals on the box, can i bridge the terminal to make a 1 ohm load. these are both dual 2 ohm vc subs, so shouldnt this give me a 1 ohm load going into the amp?

Adding terminals does nothing to change your OHM load. You can get a .5, 2, or 8 OHM load from those subs, just like the website said.

rubbernutz1 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 ya fosgates website is right. you can get dual 4 ohms to get you down to a 1 ohm load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndnkobra Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Yeah, thats the thing that sucks about getting a pair of havocs, you cant get a 1 ohm load on both of them. You'd have to buy an amp thats 2 ohm stable and puts out enough power @ 2 ohms. 2000w @ 2 ohms would be perfect for a pair of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
