2ohm DVC parallel = 1.7ohm???

[JohnHinerman 10]

I have an Alpine SWR-1022D and a SWR-1023D Dual 2ohm woofers. I just checked each woofer. If I wire the two coils in series, I get about 5.6 - 5.8ohm. Parallel is 1.7ohm. Both speakers are very close to being the same coil resistance. I'm just wondering how my Dual 2 ohm coils are so far off from the resistance that they should be. Why such a higher resistance?

measure the coils one by one. See what they are at as far as resistance. It maybe possible that the coils are damaged causing a higher resistance,

touch your leads together and see what you read, and subtract that from all your future ohm measurments from speakers

lol omg I am retarded. I measured the leads, then saw that there was some metal debris on them. Cleaned the connections, checked again. 0.000 ohms. Now I'm getting 1.0ohm parallel, and 1.9 per coil. So disregard this whole thing lol

haha glad you got it all figured out
