skittlesRgood Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 80z HP didn't change it. On the way to harbor frieght to get a DMM now. oh, i didnt mean that would help your problem. its an SQ issue and something that could save your speakers. they are not made to play 60hz at the same power to give you loud mids. it would be easy to bottom them out and/or distort them.

Robert8252 Posted August 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 So future reference to all and some of you probably know. Kappas are not 4 ohm at the head unit like they claim. At the crossover +,- input is a solid 2.5ohm after DMM leads are taken out. At the head unit (about 4 foot of 12g wire is only about 2.7-9. I don't know how to test with the radio on and with the rise that it gives but I'm doubting it rises a ohm and a half. So in my conclusion infinity Kappas are 3 ohm component sets.

Robert8252 Posted August 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 I can understand that but with the ability to run them at 90rms it's always been unclear their actual impendance so now I know and don't have to ask any more Quote 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEvil Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 put them on a 2ch amp at 2 ohms each channel, will do fine. As to using shit wiring to cause impedence rise, thats basically asking for a fire. Quote MickyMcD - "Capable of making some serious trouser flapping volumes at where's-my-testicles frequencies, the Servo-Drives used to be fairly jaw dropping..." Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.

Robert8252 Posted August 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 I'm not planning on changing to small wire. I am getting a amp for them eventually. Just getting money right and my car ready to get my build done right now. Doing my suspension next weekend so fun fun.
