Loading Diown subs.

Say one has 6 8ohm svc subs and he loads them down, what will be the final load? Parallel or series?

Do the same for 10 8ohm svc subs as well.

Let's see everyone's answers.

when you say 8" do you mean 8ohm?

The North American keyboard equivalent of ohm is W

6 8Ω speakers in series is 48Ω
in parallel it's 1.33Ω

10 8Ω speakers in series is 80Ω
in parallel it's 0.80Ω

Unless I'm misunderstanding your question.

If i want an ending load of 4ohms or close to it, how many subs would I use and how would it be done? If at all it is possible?

6 8Ω speakers



~5Ω total load.


For 10 speakers it's the same idea, but instead of 3 parallel in each group, you have 5.
Total load ends up being 3.2Ω

Best case would be to use 8 speakers in this configuration, with groups of 4. Total load is 4Ω
