3 Sub Impedance Question

Recommended Posts

Okay, so when you wire three subs together, there are always weird impedance numbers. It's never a solid one or two ohm. It's always some strange decimal.

Example:

So I was wondering, what if you wired, say, two dual 1's together for a 1 ohm load, then wired a dual 2 to a one ohm load and plugged them all into the amp, would the third sub be in phase or all out of wack?

I just want to know if this will work out, because then you have all three subs together on a solid 2 ohm load.

EDIT: Just to clarify, the 2 dual 1 ohms subs and the single dual 2 ohm sub are wired completely separately and then the two sets of leads are plugged into the amp for a solid 2 ohm load.

Your power distribution would be uneven.

I figured as much. Just wanted to see if somehow it would work. Thank you.

What's the problem with the odd ohm load?

There isn't a problem with odd at the amp, the problem is when each sub isn't the same.

the resistance is not the same.

Use 2 subs or get a 4th one. :)

What's the PB with 1.34 Ohm ?
