Ohms

glemay

Can someone explain how ohms work? What happen when you hook up 6 speakers to a 2 channel amplifier, 3 speakers per channel or some other strange situtation? What about a dual voice coil sub what does that mean?

Someone please elaborate for me.

ohms is a unit of measurement of resistance
i dont really know the in depth meaning so i cant explain it to you
a dual voice coil sub is exactly that
it has 2 voice coils
all it does is give you more options to how you want to wire it
lets say you have a 1000watt rms sub
it comes in a 4ohm svc(single voice coil) or a 2 or 8 ohm dvc(dual voice coil)
the 2 or 8ohm is the same sub, but since you have 2 voice coils, depending on the way you wire it, you can wire it for 8 or 2 ohms
ok back to the 2 different subs
theyre both 1000watts rms
the DVC will be wired into a 2 ohm load
that way you can push it with a rockford fosgate bd1000...which puts out 1000x1 @ 2ohms
but the same amp only does 500x1@ 4 ohms
so youd have to buy a bigger amp
thus more money
also, when you wire mulitple subs, you can do all kinds of crazy things to wire it up
the only reason that i would use dvc, is b/c ease of install with all the wiring choices, and saves me money
