I'm really getting sick of all of these ohm wiring questions, from now on I'm just linking this: http://sl.wus0.com/quclk.go?rd=http://www.bcae1.com/spkrmlti.htm&res=17&crid=4cb fbaae6e2ef51d&pos=2&mr=25&qu=sub%20wiring |

Silver Member Username: 2pacalypse1971Sandusky, Oh Post Number: 154 Registered: Jul-05 | ok so will it make a 1.5 or a 1 ohm load....and that website jsut had me lost, how do i wire them each into 3 ohms, and then after that i prolly just connect each positive and negative to each other, but i dont know how to get them into three ohms...i usually use the rockford thing but since they don't make dual 6ohm ssubs it ain't on there, so if someone could just tell me how to wire each speaker to 3 ohms, it'd be appreciated.. |
