You never will do this, because there is really no 4 ohm amplifier. The amplifier will have an output impedance of around 0.04 ohms. In hi-fi we have always impedance bridging. Zout << Zin. The damping factor Df = Zin / Zout tells you what Zout is. Zout = Zin/Df. If the damping factor Df = 200 and the loudspeaker impedance is Zin = 4 ohms, the output impedance of the amplifier is Zout = 4 / 200 = 0.02 ohms. You see, there is no "4 ohm amplifier" with a 4 ohm output. Scroll down to related links and look at "Interconnection of two units (Voltage Bridging - Zout < Zin)".

How do you wire 4 dual 4 ohm coils subs to one ohm mono?

If you wire all 4 coils parallel, you get 1 ohm (mono).


How do you wire up a dual 4 ohm sub to 2 ohms?

If an amp runs 1000 w rms at 1ohm how do you wire a dual 4 ohm speaker to run at 1 ohm?

the impedance of a speaker is a characteristic that is has. A 4 ohm speaker will always have a 4 ohm impedance and it cannot be changed. If 2 speakers of 4 ohm impedance are wired in parallel, then the total impedance will be 2 ohms. Similarly, if you wire 4 speakers together, the total impedance will be 1 ohm. Wiring a 2 ohm speaker to an amplifier rated to drive a 1 ohm load should work without any problems but expect the total power output to be somewhat lower than with a 1 ohm load.


If 2 dual 4 ohm subs were wired in series parallel what would it put out?

The final impedance would be 4 ohms.


How would you hook up 2 8 ohm woofers with a 4 ohm dual voice coil woofer?

You could with a 4 channel amp. Bridge it to two channels and hook up the two 8 ohm woofers in parallel on the one bridged channel. Then hook the two coils on the dual coil woofer in series with the other bridged channel on the amp.


Can I safely run 4 x 4ohm speakers with an 8 ohm rated amplifier?

Not really. The only possible configurations of four 4 ohm speakers is 1 ohm, 4 ohms, and 16 ohms. This will not match an 8 ohm rated amplifier. It will work, but you will not achieve rated power output, and you run the risk of damaging the amplifier.


Why does the comp cvr 12 have four places to put wires?

Because it has a Dual Voice Coil (DVC) which gives you more wiring options, eg. dual 2 ohm coils that let you wire in parallel for 1 ohm final, or in series for 4 ohm final load. You MUST use both of them for proper operation of you risk damaging the sub.


What ohm load will 4 12 in dual 2 ohm play at?

There are a lot of possibilities here, especially since your question is worded exactly right.I'm taking it you have 4 12" speakers, each of which have Dual Voice Coils (2 Ohms each). You want to wire them together and see what ohm load you have.Ok, there's multiple ways to wire this up. Series, Parallel, and Series/Parallel combo.Wiring these speakers in series can give you either a 4 ohm load, or a 16 ohm load. 4 ohms if each speaker by itself (having DVC) is wired in parallel and 16 ohms if each speaker by itself is wired in series.Wiring these speakers in parallel can give you either a .25 ohm load, or a 1 ohm load. Again .25 ohms if each speaker by itself (having DVC) is wired in parallel and 1 ohms if each speaker by itself is wired in series.Wiring these in a series/parallel configuration can give you tons of different wiring options and ohm loads. In your case .75, 1, 3.2, 4 ohm loads.So your best option would to be wire your speakers up in series, with each speaker wired in parallel to itself. This way you'll get a 4 ohm load, if done properly. Make sure your amp can run a 4 ohm load too.


Are kicker L7s good speakers and what kind of amp do I need to power 2-15 inch subs?

Yes, the L-7s are great. For the amp, you first need to find out whether the sub woofers are 2-ohm, 4-ohm, or 8-ohm. Depending on the answer to that question will determine whether or not you'll need a mono amp or a dual channel amp as well as the wattage.


If 2 4 ohm subs were wired in series 2 equal an 8 ohm setup n you wire that in Parallel with another 4 ohm would it put out a 2.6 ohm load?

Yes, just make sure your amp can run at 2 ohms and you're fine.


Will 8 ohm sub woofers work with a 4 ohm amp?

if you put 2, 8 ohm speakers together on the same channel you will trick the amp into seeing a 4 ohm load, it is not advisable to run a 8 ohm coiled speaker on a 4 ohm amp unless you do the above. So if you want to run 2 8 ohm speakers from a 4 ohm amp this will work the best although the amp will need to be hefty as its worse to underpower a sub than overpower it! I have used a 8 ohm speaker myself on a car amp and had no problems but it was not a cheap entry level amp! some amps will take it, others will get hot and enter protection mode. Hope this helps!!!


Which car subwoofer has the best range?

The Alpine 10" Dual-Voice-Coil 4-Ohm Subwoofer is considered the industry standard for range in subwoofers.
