lmfao ok lets try this one last time. the atlas is listed as a SVC sub but it is not a SVC sub. (why? because the 2ohm coil is much smaller than the 4ohm coil and not able to be powered directly, this would result in very low power handling. The 2ohm coil is there to adject the QTS but also to allow for multiple wiring options. On top of the the 2ohm coil being not as beefy it's also 2ohm, so if you were to wire it in parallel with the 4ohm coil it's going to see a LOT more power than the 4ohm.) back to the explanation. The color of the terminals can mean jack at this point. no matter why that 2ohm coil is there, it's still a 2ohm coil. If you take a dual 2ohm sub and wire them in series, what do you get? if you wire the 2 and 4 in series it works exactly the same way. there is nothing "special" about the 2ohm coil that would cause it to not affect impedance. it is still a wire wrapped around the former. another link... http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=13041309 http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread/t-52331.html

ok, i even gave references, lets see if he gets it this time.

Yes it does, you must have wired yours incorrectly if you saw no change on the DMM. i ran mine at 3ohm (a pair with each wired to 6 then paralled) and i also ran it with the 1.33ohm that i previously mentioned. 2nd post at this link... from chad the owner at the time ascendant was selling the original atlases http://forum.carstereos.org/couple-qyestio...03.html?t=46203 post here from Mr. Fi. even though it's confirming the 1.33 if what you are saying is true and the gold coil can't affect impedance 1.33 is just as impossible. http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=12007

It's alright, i'm sure other ppl will be confused too. the 4ohm coil is the silver terminals. what do you think the gold terminals are? that's the 2ohm coil.

because the other coil is 2ohm 2ohm+4ohm in series is a 6ohm load

he's not talking about running a jumper across the gold terminals. danssoslow is talking about running the pair in series.

the atlas is not like that, the 2ohm VC will not change the other VC impedance. i know i tried and it did not work, granted doing that will change how impedance rise affects the sub but overall impedance will not change. genrally speaking high qts sound and get lower in sealed boxes compared to low qts. i tried this with my 15's in 2.3cf sealed boxes with the low qts the sub seemed louder had better low end, when i tried the low qts the sub was very punchy and tight and did not have the low end compared to the high qts. i say try both and see which you like more. the 2ohm voice coil WILL affect the over all impedance.

hadn't heard of it but not surprised at all. they're going to open a pharmacy school too, it's been on the table for a few years. Everything has the go-ahead as far as i know.

ugh, looks like my bro might be in the market for a sub/amp gonna need something stupid loud, i mean LSQ..lol Aaron, can you pm me the price on a sundown 3000 through the shop? it's in a hatch, i'm thinking 3000+BTL 18

i really gotta stop that though. i think that's about the 4th girl i've done that to. strangely enough they never reply with "yea and i got in...but i chose radford"

girl at work was talking chit about going to radford the other day and how it's just as good as tech. i said exactly what i always say.... radford is where people go when they can't get in to tech. She got furious. i asked if she applied to tech. The look on her face said more than enough. heh

70A alternator or 170? 70 isn't very much, though i think stratusfaction has one around that i got major dimming when running my 1200.1 and a 800.2 at the same time.

good morning hop

not to get overly complicated but with a pair you can also series the two 2ohm coils and then put them in parallel with the other 2 4ohm coils to get a 1.3333 ohm load. Do this to both pairs then wiring these in series would give you 2.66ohm

god i'm with ya ryan and our weather hasn't even been that bad lately.

not knocking the mag but what sub isn't? Focals, Rainbows, Auras? maybe not over-hyped on this forum...

tomorrow tomorrow always tomorrow! who cares about pics, i wanna know how it performed. it can look like a $5 hooker, it's all about how well she does her job.

ok well i don't have any good pics of how she started her life, so here's what the pic from springfield shows her as... first thing i did was lose the grips and get a different trigger.

not knocking the mag but what sub isn't?

didn't manage to make it out, lack of money and time ATM. state taxes should arrive sometime this week though.

i spy jordan, you need to get your ass on aim and give me the update

no clue jimbo.
