These say 3ohm, I thought they were SVC 4ohm? Can you wire 6 of these into 1 ohm?

and also what's up with these?
http://www.eclipse-web.com/us/sw/sw8210.html

are they a next step up from the sw8200's? They are 750w vs 670 are they not LMT?

 

Is the sw8200 discontinued? Apparently the new one isn't LMS but has similiar specs. WWWHYYYYY would they do that.

 

well wiring them is easy since it single voice coil!

if you wire all 6 in series they will be 6ohm load, if you were 2 wire 2 subs in series then in parellel with 2 more sets of subs in parellel you would have a 2ohm load!!

so

make sense! p/m and i can draw a pic!

 

If they are 3 ohms each
Simple answer is no... you can get a 2 ohm load or 2 1 ohm loads (I dont know if your set on amps but you can get 2 smaller amps and parallel wire 3 subs to each one or 1 big amp that makes its power at 2 ohms and series every 2 speakers together to make 3 pairs of 6 ohm loads and parallel them down to 2 ohms

If the are 4 ohms each
Simple answer is no... you can get a 2.66 ohm load or 2 - 1.33 ohm loads (I dont know if your set on amps but you can get 2 smaller amps and parallel wire 3 subs to each one for 1.33 ohms per amp or 1 big amp that makes its power at 2 ohms and series every 2 speakers together to make 3 pairs of 8 ohm loads and parallel them down to 2.66 ohms

hope you find this helpful

 

Very helpful, I can't find these anywhere most tables go up to 3 subs and don't use wack ohms. Does anyone know if the SW8200 used to be 4 ohm? I don't know which years mine are and they were bought bnib online. It says 3 ohm on their website but I guess I was wiring them from a table that said 2 SVC 4ohm into 2ohm on a mono. I'm not set on amps or anything else, if I buy two amps how do you set the gains on the one amp? Is that what the master/slave switch is for? How do you wire and what ohm is two SVC 3 ohmers? I want to run these at 1ohm.

 

... and how do I know what year the sub is?

 

if you are going to run 2 amps at 1 ohm each then you will take 3 of the speakers and just parallel the coils on all 3 + to + to + and - to - to - and that will give you 1 ohm... gain matching the amps isnt hard... adjust them by ear until you think you have them close and then take a voltmeter and set it to AC and put the + lead on the + output of the first amp and the - lead on the - output of the first amp and see what the meter says... say for example it says 46.3v then you go to the second amp and attach the leads the same way and see what the voltage is... say it says 44.2v... take and adjust the gain on that amp until you get it to 46.3 volts and you are all set... (dont forget these are made up numbers)
You can use a multimeter to test the coils on the subs you have to see if they are 3 or 4 ohms each... its not gonna matter though because the wiring will be the same

 

i think u are a bit off there.

the answer to the dude's question is - no.

if there are six 3 ohm subs, you can wire them either in 0.5 ohm or 2 ohm

if they are 4 ohm, you can wire them in 0.667 ohm or 2.667 ohm
