hey guys, k if i have 3 subs at 3 ohms per piece, how to i get the circuit down to 1.5 ohms independant of an amplifier. thanx guys

and wow, i should know this..

lol and i guess u dont do u? lol i need answer for tomorrow when i go back to work
i'm trying to think...gawd...
lol

Damn I know this too. I forgot the equation.....
If you run those in parallel Im thinking it will be 1 Ohm load.... I dont think you will be able to break it down to 1.5

ya well my boss is a cunt then lol, k well he gave me the one problem, 4 subs at 4 ohms each, 2 subs to a side, one 2 channel amp that has to be at 2 ohms. heres what i figured
ask verbal i think h can answer that for you
lol hopefully hes on cuz i need this for work tomorrow.
why the hell cant i find verbals name in the member list... wtf i was gonna PM him but his name aint in there :S as a mofo
ah thans so much lol helps out alot
ah ha discovered it, its That(SPACE)verbal so: That Verbal. lol found it and pm'd him thx for what help you guys were able to give. argh, wut a bs task....
You changed the problem from 3 to 4 subs.. your diagram i correct i believe... I still cant find the equation however... sorry.
no it was a different problem
i have 2 problems one was 4 subs at 4 ohms each 2 ohms at the amp, thats wut the diagram was for, but i wasnt sure if it was correct but i still havent figured out the 3 subs at 3 ohms per sub, total circuit resistance of 1.5 ohms

ok here is the answer
4 subs at 4 ohms a piece can be wired
A. At 2 ohms stereo. Two subs per channell. All positives and negatives connected together
B. 1 ohm mono. All positives and negatives ran together with the amp being bridged.
C. Heres the tricky one. 4 ohm mono. Through series parallell wiring. Take two subs. Wire the negative terminal of one sub to the positive terminal of the second sub. This will leave you an open positive and an open negative terminal.
Wire the other two subs in that fashion. This will give you two sets of subs wired to 8 ohms. Bridge your amp to those two sets of speakers and the impedance will be a total of 4 ohms.
As for the 3-3ohm woofers you can not achieve a 1.5 ohm load. These woofers will only achive an overall 1 ohm or 9 ohm load.
Thats pretty much it and your only choices
