Ohms??

adfasn New member Username: Fritos2 Post Number: 7 Registered: Apr-08	Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2008 - 00:51 GMT how much of a sound difference is there between 4ohms and 2ohms, SQ and how loud
Moey Silver Member Username: Moey_g SydneyAustralia Post Number: 211 Registered: Oct-06	Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2008 - 00:55 GMT Difference in SQ will be hard to hear. You will most likely get more power from an amp powering it at 2 ohms than at 4 ohms. Therefore getting slightly louder.

Impedance is AC resistance and DC resistance is resistance. lol Take some time to read before asking something like this though. I bet google would even define it for you.

Moey Silver Member Username: Moey_g SydneyAustralia Post Number: 212 Registered: Oct-06	Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2008 - 00:59 GMT I understood what he was saying. Well... at least i do lol. Were you asking if you powered a sub at 2 ohms (i.e. with dual 4 ohm coils) or if you powered the same sub at 4 ohms (with dual 2 ohm coils) what will the difference in sound be. Thats what i think he was trying to say...

Inductance will also be double that of parallel... or was it double that of a single coil with parallel being half of a single coil? Can't remember. Too lazy to check. Either way, inductance goes up which can affect the higher bass frequencies. Amps like higher impedances.

cam Gold Member Username: •cam• BC Canada Post Number: 2465 Registered: Nov-06	Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2008 - 01:19 GMT No problem at all. Thanks for the apology.
Snow Silver Member Username: Snowball123 West Allis, WI United States Post Number: 626 Registered: Oct-07	Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2008 - 01:22 GMT no problemo.
Moey Silver Member Username: Moey_g SydneyAustralia Post Number: 213 Registered: Oct-06	Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2008 - 01:41 GMT I said itll get slightly louder given that an amp will usually put out more power at a lower ohm load and therefore be louder. Your saying this is not true?
cam Gold Member Username: •cam• BC Canada Post Number: 2468 Registered: Nov-06	Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2008 - 01:52 GMT It's possible. I've heard of guys wiring in series and getting just as loud, if not louder, than in parallel. They speculated that it was caused by the force.
Moey Silver Member Username: Moey_g SydneyAustralia Post Number: 214 Registered: Oct-06	Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2008 - 01:56 GMT Hmmm interesting... I guess you learn something new everyday. But if you wire the same sub with the same coils (eg. D2) you will be going from 1 ohm in parallel to 4 ohms series. You will be losing quite a bit of power on most amps...
cam Gold Member Username: •cam• BC Canada Post Number: 2469 Registered: Nov-06	Posted on Tuesday, April 29, 2008 - 02:00 GMT Yeah, that's true. I just re-read what I typed "it was caused by the force". LOL Anyway. It was amplitude (or "loud to the ear") they were talking about.
