how to determine ohm load?

I am sure that you guys think this is going to be a stupid question

I am wanting to know with out going to a site of any sort how do you guys determine the determine the ohm load?

thanks and I hope this question is OK to ask

but can you tell me what the ohm load of a setup with 5dvc 4ohm is?

if so can you explain how you figured it out (without looking at a chart or forumla)

you are the best thanks

I am a girl too so Im not the best at this I understand alittle but I would like to know how to figure it out with out a equation (in my Head)

thank you Mobile 1

you need to know the load of the sub's or speaker's voice coil or coils. if you run a direct line from one voice coil to the amp of h/u the ohm loador impedence is that of the voice coil. if you run a series circuit during the wire run to the amp you effectively half the impedence (raise the number by multipuls of two for every series circuit) when you run a parallel circuit in the wire run from the voice coils to the amp or h/u you effectively raise the impedence (divide the original voice coil's impedence by 2)

lets try it with 4 4ohm svc = 1ohm load

4 4dvc=2

but now then 5 how are you going to get that answer???

am sorry for my error sir, that would make a difference wouldnt it,

I was meaning parrell

from those anwsers you have everything run in parallel, is this for an actual setup or just hypothetical. if an actual set up i could help you alot more if you gave me the desired ohm load, or the load your amp is stable at.

hypothetical if thats ok,

I understand that a amp is stable at certain ohm loads, this maybe be a dumb thing to be asking but I am just racking my brain trying to figure out the ohm load of any given setup,

other than your basic setups if you know where I am coming from

thanks for taking your time to help me Ketel

Ketel is this a dumb thing to be asking?

do you have too memorize everything in order to be able to come up with a ohm load for any certain setup, or like say for yourself does it take a second or two to come up with a ohm load if asked in person?
