quick question about ohm load

it's been sooo long since i've been in the car audio thing... i'm wanting just a small 10" L7 solo-baric to throw in my yukon.

i'm looking between a 300-600 watt amp(mono). i could just google ohm loads but i don't have time as of now. can a DVC 4-ohm be wired for a 2 ohm load? i'm wanting a 2-ohm load and couldn't remember if a DVC 2-ohm or DVC 4-ohm could be wired for a 2-ohm load..

little help?
 
Dual voice coils of 4 ohms each can present a load of 2 ohms (parallel) or 8 ohms (serial). Wiring in serial is definitely NOT recommended.

NOTE: A stereo amp bridged mono will need to be capable of driving a 1 ohm load (each channel) if running in bridged mode driving a 2 ohm load!

I think you mean 8 ohms(series). and Wiring in series is ...."



Of course terminology could have changed in the last 20 years....😎



...and yes, wiring them in parallel will give you the 2 ohm load you want. However, I think that the 2 ohms is the total parallel circuit impedence and not 2 ohms impedence for each voice coil.

No it was a legitimate mistake. Too much serial in the computers as of late.

Or it could've been that exposure to a 1.5 Tesla magnetic field earlier. People never believe that when a woman walks funny. :Q

Yeah but voice coil gaps aren't the size of rooms.

What about MRI technicians? Do they get all funky in the head?

(Google search returned no easy results for MRI machine stray flux)
