Ok then... why Mr. Smarty? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

 

So are we talking audible differences here or actual power differences?

 

I agree with DWVW! NO SERIES! parellel coils allow BOTH coils (in a 2 coil setup) to see the exact power, split evenly between the 2 coils. an argument could be that the woofer may be able to handle more power when parrelled as well, as the power is evenly distributed, and arrives to both coils at the same time?

makes sence to me.... hard to explian typing though [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img]

Wow good thread guys...

I've always figured there must be some difference, but never checked the science of it. this thread helps with that, thanks guys.

Anyway, something usefull to add: 2 ohm subs versus 4, there are differences. In my Orion H2 series, the 2 ohm one has a few different specs than the 4 ohm ones... Why? Heck if I know...

H2 specs here: http://www.orioncaraudio.com/subwoof..._H2_series.asp

 

damn, i have 4 subs that are dual 2 ohms. i have to wiring series to 1 ohm final. my amp does full power at 1 ohm. good thing i didnt hook it up yet!! what should i do?
would series do some damage???

 

michael why not just series each sub woofer up to 4 ohms then parrelell it down to 1 ohm in the end.
