1.5 ohm load

[boy.kroy 1]

I have a Dual 3-ohm Subwoofer, which i plan on wiring in parallel for a 1.5 ohm load (actually measures 1.55 on digital multimeter). Could I use Two SAE-1000D Strapped with this load? One Saz-1500d would not be enough and 3000w would be to much.

i don't see why you couldnt.

What dual 3 ohm sub is it?

resistance rise should be high enough at all times. Gotta make sure your electrical system is beefed up for it. The closer you get to the lowest ohm load the more potential for damage to occur if your electrical system is dipping too low.

RE of 1.59 ohms is a 2 ohm nominal load. Not sure why they call them 3 ohm coils ?

Well Phoenix Gold lists them as dual 4-ohm, but when i hook it up to a DMM in parallel it reads anywhere from 1.55 to 1.6 ohms, and when i use my Dayton Audio WT2 The RE reads 1.55 to 1.6 ohms, and I have a test report on it from CA&E (Car Audio & Electronics) magazine and they say its listed as dual 4-ohm but is actually Dual 3-ohm.

I'm not sure why they say that, but the coil DCR is in the right range to be a D4 coil.

They say that because some of the guys at CA&E are morons.

I gues it's also possible that in certain enclosures and depending on the Qes of the sub, it could actually show the amp a 1.5 ohm load wired in parallel. Seriously doubt it, but it's possible.
