ohm problem!

Post by ikedogg »

i have a 400w 1-ohm stable amp pushing three dual voice coil 4-ohm tens in a series wiring configuration...how many ohms is that taking? for some reason, the clip keeps cutting in on my amp and turning it off...does anyone know what could be wrong?
and konstantine is walking down the stairs...

you are gonna hvae to reask that... you said they are in series... if this is true, they are at 24ohm ... which is not true(I hope :D!)<BR>if you meant series-parallel (each sub is wired to 8 ohm, then in paralleled to the amp)... then you are at 2.6ohms... <BR>This is all assuming that when you said your subs are dual voice coil 4 ohm subs, that each coil is 4 ohm.... if each sub is really dual 2 or dual 8 and you meant that you have them wired to 4 ohm already, then you are giving the amp 1.3ohms, which is as close as you will get...<P><BR>Hows that for confusing?
