I know this site has calculaters but they don't help me when it come to DVC. I can do almost anything but ohms confuse the **** out of me. I have 2 15" High performance subs from parts express. Their 4 ohms per coil. So if I'm running them in parallel what are the ohms or how do I put that in the calculater. Any help would be app.
A speaker with two coils is put into the calculator as if it was two speakers, each at (in your case) 4-ohms. So, if you have 2 speakers, each with 2 coils, that is 4 coils total. If each coil is in parallel, that places 4 X 4-ohm coild in parallel for a net load on the amp of 1 ohm. If you connect the two coils on each speaker in series, this adds the resistances together of the two coils, so 4 + 4 = 8-ohms each. Put TWO 8-ohm loads in parallel for a net load on the amplifier of 4-ohms.
So your two best choices are to wire for either a 1-ohm or 4-ohms total load on your amp.
Oh by the way, what did you buy from Parts Express? I know they bought out the remaining stock of Kove subs, and they also handle the killer Dayton line...
I bought two 15s. I currently have 1 15"
dayton TITANIC MKIII in my room. Its a killer. Check this link to see the subs I just bought.
