DONT hook this up to your amp!

Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 889 Registered: Sep-05 | I wouldnt hook this up to most of you guys amps. =D I got dual 2ohm subs now all already wired!! Exchange my old ones in, now I got new ones. I love warranties. Yeah baby....   More? https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/system-showcase/190665.html |

Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 4833 Registered: Dec-04 | yeah are you sure you have them wired right? |
|
Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 895 Registered: Sep-05 | im positive i wired them correct. =D box is tuned to 27hz also. |

Silver Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 841 Registered: Nov-05 | where did you get that ohm reader..and how much was it...and can that also tell how many watts the amp can play? |
|
Silver Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 842 Registered: Nov-05 | nevermind..radioshack...but does it tell watts? |
|
Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 900 Registered: Sep-05 | no but you can calculate watts. lol its a electricians best friend buddy. this is just my cheap one. lol |

Bronze Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 84 Registered: Jan-06 | Okkkkkk, so what ya trying to say, that you can rig a box for .5ohm? So what's your point, do you have an amp that will run it? Are you using multiple boxes orrrrrrr? Or are you showing that the coils aren't accurately constructed? Give us a hint because there is nothing you have in your systems list that will run that load..Polo.  |

Silver Member Username: 420pimp2Post Number: 272 Registered: Jan-06 | didn't someone say a while back that one of the old orion amps would handle that kinda load? |
|
Gold Member Username: TjmutlowPost Number: 1356 Registered: Sep-05 | well, I do not think that unit is wrong, 2 dual subs will give you .5ohm load , it is ran parralel. each sub will load either 1ohm or 4ohm... and the old school orions handle .5ohm stereo load. |
|
Gold Member Username: James1115Wilton, Ct Post Number: 4848 Registered: Dec-04 | yup .5 ohms stereo and 1 ohm mono. The soundstream reference series amps can handle the same load. |
|
Bronze Member Username: LewassBloomfield Hills, MI USA Post Number: 42 Registered: Jan-06 | He can just use 2 1 ohm stable amps... |

Silver Member Username: Young_jamesCanada Post Number: 750 Registered: Sep-05 | I would be much easier if we wait till he tell us,lol |
|
Bronze Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 90 Registered: Jan-06 | I am talking about his amp list in his profile, none of those will run a .5 ohm in any confg. I believe an Orion HCCA can run a .25 ohm load, VERY underated @4ohms, lol.  |
|
Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 918 Registered: Sep-05 | polo, lol im not using any of those amps! however they are up for sale if someone wants them. =D |
|
Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 919 Registered: Sep-05 | polo the hint is about 3200 rms matched to an impedence of .5 ohm load!!!! =D |
|
Bronze Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 92 Registered: Jan-06 | Hmmmmm, you gona pump 3200rms into two subs rated at 500rms each? Go figure.. |
|
Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 926 Registered: Sep-05 | yes, and im going to win alot of tropheies, certificates and gifts too. Now go figure.... =D |
|
Bronze Member Username: Safe_crackerChicago, IL US Post Number: 94 Registered: Jan-06 | Righhhtt, those stamped basket subs really perform there little hearts out, lol. GoodLuck! Polo.. |
|
Silver Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 532 Registered: Mar-04 | I would have suggested Lanzar Opti2000D  |
|
Silver Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 533 Registered: Mar-04 | "Righhhtt, those stamped basket subs really perform there little hearts out, lol. GoodLuck! Polo.." Cheap stamped baskets means more money spent on parts that matter |

Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 927 Registered: Sep-05 | Optidriven, Polo doesnt know anything.. He is just being a chap! lol He need to go back and read the site he tells people to read: http://www.bcae1.com/speakrat.htm QUOTE" Bottom Line: No one can tell you if you will blow your speakers with a given amplifier. They may be able to tell you whether or not a pair of speakers will be able to handle a given amount of continuous RMS power. But... since they don't know your listening habits or your ability to hear (or even be concerned about) distortion, they (in my opinion) cannot actually tell you if a given amplifier (with you at the volume control) will blow your speakers. " Now im I still goin to blow my subs? OK like Optidriven said "stamp baskets means more money spent on real parts the matter" FYI the basket is powerder coated.... # Precision CNC-machined low-carbon steel motor structure # Powerful and durable double-stacked strontium ferrite magnets with a protective rubber magnet boot # Durable and attractive black oxide-treated motor structure # High-flow large diameter pole vent # High excursion motor structure and suspension design # Wide three-layer UV-treated foam surround # Resin-impregnated poly-cotton damper for increased cone control # Integrated tinsel leads for increased reliability and enhanced sound quality at high excursion # Mica-impregnated polypropylene cone and dustcap # Cold-rolled stamped steel basket with rolled edges # 3.0 inch high-temperature Aluminum voice coils |

Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 928 Registered: Sep-05 | or does he think they wont do it?? << but who careS? Treo will till you run 1K to each all day. And thats moderate.. Cause ive seen them with double what im about to give them! Playing all day every day! They were even tested 4KW, for 2 hrs each day, guess what? they lasted 1 month! Thats whats make a GOOD company, some people have alot to learn. =D |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 10964 Registered: Dec-03 | the only problem I see is that you're measuring DCR, not impedance. The DCR should be lower than the nominal impedance of the circuit. I use a pair of dual 2 ohm coil subs myself, but I wired each sub with coils in series, and use a bridged amplifier on each sub at 4 ohms. I don't like running ultra low impedances on amplifiers. It leaves very little in the way of head room, and increases heat and distortion, and decreases the SNR and damping. The only real benefit you get is the added power and the cost of SQ. |

Silver Member Username: B101Queen City, NC USA Post Number: 932 Registered: Sep-05 | yea its DC resistance. Im going to be runing @ .5ohms for competitions & daily! Im doin it for the benefit of the added power like you said. =D Glasswolf Im not worried about the amp being able to handle it, cause its been tested & proven daily @ .5ohms without any major change in operating temperature. The amp also will be able to drop to .34ohm for burps at competitions.. If i set my gain low/boost and watch the hu, play with the eq, I think my SQ wont be bad at all! Im just goin to have to be more responsible and attentive to the setup. It goin to be a STEET POUNDER! =D |
