    I run two 8 ohms subs in series.
    They sound great i'm hearing sounds i never heard before wheni ran then at 8ohms. My amp
    runs cooler and i'm not turning up the gains or volume to compensate. I love it... it hits hard and feels different, Give it a try.
    The fact that i'm in bridge mode, may be the reason
    the power seems to still be strong.

    I wanted studio series amp/ speakers in my car , due to the fact that me & by brother produce music & test it on the go sometimes..this came in the clutch amigo! thank you

    Great overview. Coming from an electronics background, it all comes down to impedance matching. The source (amp) must match the load (speakers) if you don't want to damage/overload/underload your system.

    Thank you for the informative video. Do you have one on how to wire multiple speakers to a 3 way crossover to achieve the correct impedence?

  • @kippercat123
    @kippercat123 3 года назад +1

    Is it possible ( and how if possible ) to wire two 8 ohm speakers in one speaker box so the hook up wires for both of them ( to the amp ) will be at 8 ohms ( not 4 or 16 ohms ) ??? This question is for a two speaker box ( each with two 8 ohm speakers ) system.
    thank you !

  • @glenprovidence4769
    @glenprovidence4769 Год назад

    If I were to build two speaker boxes containing two 18 inch 8 ohm speakers each and wired them both in series, they would both be playing at 16 ohms. If I were to then daisy chain them together at the speakon connectors, would they be playing at 8 ohm impedence or 16 ohm impedence?

    I got 2 JL Audio 12w1v2-8 they're both 8 ohms each 300watts RMS old school Subwoofers. I bought them from a guy I used too know, they've been sitting in my closet collecting dust. This Winter I wanna have a custom ported box build for them, now I'm guessing after they both become 4 ohms wired in parallel, I would need an amp stable at 4 ohm.

I know the subwoofers are 600 watts each so if I hook up 3 off them that would make 1800 watts so would I need a 2000 watt amp?

    • @m4scar4
      @m4scar4 6 лет назад

      You're totally right! However Ohms are important to match because they are the the resistants who prevent high current (power) to the speakers, and prevent from blowing the speaker/s and overheating your amp with high voltage flowing. From my research thats my understanding and it makes sense. Lmk if you figured out, or learned another way, I would like to know!

    Darn pesky jumpers! Haha. Thank you so very much for sharing this, and the last video on 8 ohm (keyboard doesn't have the omega symbol 😔) vs 70v system. Just picked up a Realistic FM Mic PA system, beauty from I'm guessing 70s? Find out soon. Anyways it had those, I had no idea. I now know I know nothing about stereos, despite having been an audio enthusiast (okay, low budget audiophile), and wiring car stereos since I was 14...20 years ago,just as hobby. But, Man, thank you for opening my eyes. When I have time I need to watch everything you have. 🙏 😂 🎶 🔊
