Posted August 25, 200520 yr today after carpeting my box, i hooked up my multimeter to wire coming from the box. the speakers are wired in what should be a 1 ohm load. exactly the same as the fosgate diagram, except that my + and - from the amp are not both to opposite coils of the same speaker, the + goes to one speaker, and the - goes to the other speaker. what gives?i never did check it before so i dont know if i've been running 1.5 ohms since i hooked it up or not.

August 25, 200520 yr Impedance is an AC measurement of resistance.You were measuring DCR (dc resistance). Since the dcr of the sub is around 3 ohms... that is the normal reading.
