xxx@1 ohm

[j0sh_o6]

well i never thought to measure the ohms on each vc before wireing my XXX but once wired i ended up with 1.5 ohms is this something that i hooked up rong or how it should be i got the dvc 2 ohm or should of been atleast

The ohms of a subwoofer are usually never exact. You can expect a 2 ohm subwoofer to sometimes register as 1.5 ohms.

ok thanks for the quick response

[Ryan from Ohio]

DC resistance is just that.

Ac resistance is an Impedance, which is an average. You can not accurately determine the AC resitance.

[GlassWolf]

just go to www.bcae1.com and read the section on resistance versus impedance.
while you're there, read the rest of the site a couple times, too.
it's all worth knowing.

so if i wire a dvc 4 ohm sub parrallel to a amp thats only stable at 2 ohms that means that the amp will shut down?

no dvc parrallel 4ohm would be 2ohm.

[6three6mafia6]

i know but since justin said you might end up with like 1.5 does that make it shut down?

[lotas]

i dont think so. my XXX registered as 2.3 or something for dual 2ohm. (supposed to be 1.9)

dual 1ohm should register as .7ohm

ive never had a problem and im at 1ohm on my kicker

has your amp been shutting down or something?

nah just for future reference, i guess ill be straight.
