Posted February 12, 201411 yr Whats the ohm load if you wire eight dual four ohms drivers? I know four of them ran "series/parallel" is 2ohm load. Would that mean adding four more in the same wiring configuration make it a final load of 4ohms?

February 12, 201411 yr (series/parallel) on the first 4 then wire the sets of 4 together in parallel getting you to a final load of 2 ohms. Or run them all parallel for a total of .5 ohms. Edited February 12, 201411 yr by Julian
February 12, 201411 yr Author Four wired is 2ohms would it be 4ohms if you added four more doubling the load previously?
February 12, 201411 yr Im looking for a four ohm load thats the sweet spot.Voice coils wired in parallel, speakers wired in series and then the pair of 4 wired in parallel for a final 4 ohm load
February 12, 201411 yr Author Im looking for a four ohm load thats the sweet spot.Voice coils wired in parallel, speakers wired in series and then the pair of 4 wired in parallel for a final 4 ohm loadHow would that look? The same as series parallel
February 12, 201411 yr Wire the next 4 like you have the first 4. Then wire the 2 sets of 4 in series .... so take the negative from one set of 4 subs and connect it to the positive of the other set of 4 then wire the remaining Negative and positive to the amp

The same as series parallel It would look exactly like that 2 sets of 4 wired in parallel (black to black red to red) of the end of the chain.
February 12, 201411 yr Four or one.For sure? Not a solid answerHe is saying it could be either one. Depending on how you wire them

February 12, 201411 yr Ok, i'm going to word this as easy as i can as it's very easy the way it's laid out already, i'm going to attempt to "dumb it down". Take ALL 8 subs and series them INDEPENDENTLY Now you have 8 single 8 ohm subs. Now, take each sub and series them ALL together down the line.. When you are done doing that, you will have 4 16 ohm subs left. Now, take the remaining 4 subs' pos and neg and parallel them all together. This will drop it down to 4 ohms.Each pair of 16 ohm wires in parallel is 8 ohms. The final paralleling of 2 8ohm wires is 4ohms. Attempt to keep speaker wire during this entire wire configuration at the exact length for all subs as possible.
