Resistence

If I wanted to hook up 2 subs that are 4 ohm to an amp that has 1 channel and want to keep the total resistence at 4 ohms, how would I wire that? Or would I need a two channel amp?

Re: Resistence

You can't keep a 4 ohm sub with a pair of single 4 ohm subs... Why would you want 4 ohms?

They are dual 4 ohm subs. So what amp would I need to push these.

Re: Resistence

if they're dual 4ohm that changes everything

you would wire them in series/parallel, I'm sure you can find a diagram online

Re: Resistence

Why would I get an amp that is 800 rms at 1 ohm when the subs are 4 ohms. The less the resistence the less base there is right.

Re: Resistence

where the hell did you hear that?

1ohm means wired parallel parallel that is all it means... They are dual 4.

P.S. when I said where the hell did you hear that, I meant that is really really wrong.

Also it is BASS not base

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...723205313&rd=1 these are the speakers I am planing on getting what amp and how should I hook them up? If you wired 2 4 ohm speakers in parallel wouldn't that give you a 2 ohm load?

Re: Resistence
