rasic Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Voice coils wired in series, speakers wired in parallel does that mean its still in parallel? or will the power be like it is in series Quote system: changes way to much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullz Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 (edited) Series, better way to do it would be speaker terminals in parallel and wires in series. EDIT: You have it both ways, one in series and one in parallel. So if you have D4's you have a 4ohm load wired now.

Skullz Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 What ohm are the speakers and what ohm load are you trying to get to? Series will double the ohm load and parallel will halve it.

Boon Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Series up the coils then parallel the subs. More motor force, marginally Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moetpoppin Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 yeah hook up the VCs in series and then make the speakers parallel RF has some good idiot proof wiring diagrams even tho i can figure it out on my own now, i always end up checking that wiring wizard haha ty Quote TY Moet poppin', hoe hoppin', aint no stoppin' B.I.G. poppa, I'm a bad boy Party and Bullshit - The Notorious B.I.G.

rasic Posted August 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 so how does this effect the power, say i have 1 amp thats 1500 at 2 ohms, does that mean each sub is getting 1500 watts or is it split between the two?

rasic Posted August 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 thank you, who thinks it would be easier to get 2 amps and run both of them 1 ohm to each sub? Quote system: changes way to much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
