PHATBOi 38 Posted August 17, 2010 Some dmms you have to touch the leads together and whatever it reads subtract from the total I believe. Try touching the lead together an see if you get a 1 ohm reading. I may completely wrong here, someone correct me if I am. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NDMstang65 403 Posted August 17, 2010 Your meter is messed up...every single coil has the exact same amount of wire wound on the former..it is impossible to have any more then 1.4-1.5 ohms of DCR.That is the "standard" D2 DCR. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But yeah you need a new DMM 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NDMstang65 403 Posted August 18, 2010 You can get a recone for a Chaos..so it is a Chaos and not a Fi sub.Just let me know if you need it. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nate132113 1 Posted August 19, 2010 new DMM same reading 3.0 ohms? and whats the best tuning for 2 10's? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NDMstang65 403 Posted August 19, 2010 Put them in..see if they play. Then go from there.If you bought them new, you aren't holding your tongue right. Regardless as your email said, whatever you do..do NOT wire those things to .5ohmAny amplifier "manufacturer" that says you can run their amplifiers at .5ohm are completely retarded. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
