But on is 4ohm and the other is 2ohm. and I would like to run them at 1 or 2 ohm. So would it better to wire the two 4 ohms together and run them off the one amp, or wire the two 2ohm ones down to 1 ohm and run them off the one amp. Oh the amp I'm looking to get is the Audioque 1200d |

Bronze Member Username: EljoshPost Number: 32 Registered: Dec-08 | I would either get 2 of the 4ohm or 2 of the 2 ohm. Does the impedance change if you put two subs on the one output of an amp? Like if I had two subs both wired to 1ohm, and took the positive and negative from both of them and put them directly to the amp. Would the wattage be shared between the two, and would the impedance be doubled to 2ohms? |

Bronze Member Username: EljoshPost Number: 33 Registered: Dec-08 | thanks man, I didn't realize that I was describing parallel to the amp. Which would double the impedance. I have another question is there is a difference in wattage draw between parallel and serial? Because in that other video, he said something about parallel give equal wattage to both outputs, and serial splits the wattage between the two, so each one only gets half the wattage. |
