blackink Posted July 16, 2010 Report Posted July 16, 2010 Hey I was wondering what you guys think about on the usefulness of 1.4 ohm dvc subwoofers in my application. It's a DC level 4 xl and I'm going to hook it up to a saz 1500d at .7 ohms. Do you think this is overkill with a stock alt, big 3, and 2 dekas? Quote

Forevrbumpn Posted July 16, 2010 Report Posted July 16, 2010 Alot of people dont understand odd impedances like this, there is a reason for it actually If you heard of impedance rise, and understand it, then you may understand how a 1.4ohm sub can be used on a 2ohm amp, usually, especially based on box design But yeah even that 0.7ohm, the amp may never even see 1ohms, unless you build the box small as hell Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.
skittlesRgood Posted July 16, 2010 Report Posted July 16, 2010 i dont see a problem with that at all. go for it.

E a r t h Posted July 16, 2010 Report Posted July 16, 2010 its actually a D2 sub. so if wired in parallel, you will be at a 1 ohm load. the number you were refering to was the direct coil resistence as measured per DMM. not the nominal impedance of the sub, which is the number you need to worry about.

Yeah I was about to post saying I didn't know that DC had 1.4ohm dvc's lol..

Slawsen Posted July 16, 2010 Report Posted July 16, 2010 they do if you ask for them. Yeah but obviously this guy didn't ask for them...that's my point Quote 00' Nissan Xterra Always under construction :] HU: Pioneer DEH3100-UB Mids & Highs: Kicker DS Component Set & Crescendo tweeters Mids & Highs Amp: Rockford 150.2 Subwoofer: 2 DC Audio LV 4 18"s Subwoofer Amp: Hifonics Brutus 2005d you been hanging out with jeff and dustin with that green paint? its yellow so it has to be loud.
bassl0va Posted July 16, 2010 Report Posted July 16, 2010 Yeah but obviously this guy didn't ask for them...that's my point He could have bought it second hand or something like that. DC wouldn't give someone something they didn't ask for.

OrionStang Posted July 16, 2010 Report Posted July 16, 2010 Kinda off topic, but what ohm loads could you get using three dual1.4 subs? Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
