2 ohm dvc & 4 ohm svc to mono amp

[unlimitedupgradesllc]

Anyway to wire these up together on a mono amp. Amp can run 4 ohm, 2 ohm and 1 ohm stable. I know the 2 ohm dvc can run 1 ohm or 4 ohm and the svc 4 can stay at 4 ohm. What would the final load be if connected together?

What do you mean by this?

"I know the 2 ohm dvc can run 1 ohm or 4 ohm"

It's a 2 ohm dual voice coil speaker....it can't run anything.

There's only two ways to hook them to a mono amp. Series or parallel.

In series the impedance is 6 ohms.

In parallel it is 1.33 ohms.

The 2 ohm DVC can be wired to either 1 ohm or 4 ohms. So that is the ?. I get wire in parallel, but on the 2 ohm DVC should I just leave it wired at 4 ohm and connect 4 ohm SVC in parallel?

I understand now. Each coil in the DVC is 2 ohms.....so you can make it 4 ohms or 1 ohm.

This is what I would do.

Make the DVC 4 ohms.

Then wire th DVC in parallel with the SVC,

This will result in 2 ohms and this will work with your amp.


"should I just leave it wired at 4 ohm and connect 4 ohm SVC in parallel? "

yes

I tried the solution and im getting 3 ohms on volt meter. I did find out that the 4 ohm svc sub is NOT 4 ohm but a 8 ohm svc. Its branded wrong. Will I damage the amp running it at 3 ohms? Its wired in parallel.

Here's the thing...you aren't going to read the right impedance with an ohm meter. An ohm meter measures resistance and the speaker spec is impedance. There is a difference.
