THEKINGsBACK Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 ok i just got my dc level 3s rebuilt by jacob with nightshade parts .. and i was tryin to wire them up at 4 ohms just for break in period.. but i ither get a 3.2 reading or ither a 0.8 when i meter the coils on both sets of subs. they read 1.2 what am i doing wrong. Quote he wouldnt be the first to say they did a 167 with a system like that (one that clearly DOESNT), but i have to say, he didnt beat me anywhere, ive never competed against the guy. If he thinks his does a 167, mine would probably put him in a coma. :hairtrick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugee81 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 i think the coils may be a tad bit below what you purchased to make up for box rise. i wouldnt worry about it. oh, and you dont really need to worry about giving your sub time to break in.. just plug in and start wangin Quote 200a alt. by Excessive Amperage hc800 under hood & 2 Deka 9a31 in rear 1/0awg + big 3 SAZ 3000D HDC3 18" @ 2 ohm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skullz Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Most coils don't read exactly 1ohm, 2ohm or 4ohm they'll be a tad lower than whats printed but you'll still be fine hooking it up what ever way you want to.

THEKINGsBACK Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) well when you put a dmm to them, it read 3.2, correct? i assume you purchased 2 ohm coil configuration? noo see thats the crazy part.. i got dual 1 subs..and yea with the dmm they read 3.2 and i went by the wiring digram on the 12volt.com Edited September 28, 2010 by THEKINGsBACK Quote he wouldnt be the first to say they did a 167 with a system like that (one that clearly DOESNT), but i have to say, he didnt beat me anywhere, ive never competed against the guy.

Skullz Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) .8 x 4 = ? As i said earlier they are lower than 1ohm and most likely .8ohm to be exact as your getting a 3.2 load on the meter.

Robert8252 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Put the dmm on each coil separately and tell us what it reads 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...
