two new ssa subs showing diffrent ohms

[twisted1 31]

Just got my new 2ohm dvc sub yesterday an threw it in my new box for 2 subs

Immediately saw that new one flexed much more then other one.

Pulled each out an tested them an here what I found..

Sub 1 has 2ohm at each coil

Sub 2 has .6 at each coil

I tested each sub in series by itself an got this....

Sub1 4ohm

Sub2 1.6 ohm

Sub 2 is bran new out the box to btw... any ideas?

[Quentin Jarrell 671]

Well .6 x 2 = 1.2 ohms. Where did the 1.6 cone from?

If your meter isn't broken then you have two different ohm drivers. Sometimes the ohm will be written on the coil.

I originally ordered just one gcon 4ohm dvc but they sent a 2ohmdvc so I said screw it an ordered another 2ohm dvc so I can have a pair.

Fast forward to today an here we are

it fluctuates from 1.2-1.6

From how it looks, you ordered a 4ohm, and received a 4ohm. Now you ordered a 2 ohm so you have 2 different subs. How do you know the sub you originally ordered was 2 ohms and not 4?

[civicbuild86 13]

i heard subwoofer coils can be around .1 to .3 off what they are suppose to be......so if its a dvc 2 ohm each coil should read around 2 ohms.....i would contact company to see what they can do.... maybe somebody with more experience in reading coils can give advice.

 

but are u sure your 4 ohm sub u ordered is a 2ohm....maybe its a 4ohm and then u ordered a 2 ohm additional

Dude im not pucking stupid I know how to check ohms. They fucked up twice with me because they are GARBAGE!

Here is my first one that was sussposed to be dual 4 ohm

Now watch the god damn video instead of making assumptions like you know what the fuck your talking about

Dude it reads 2ohm at each coil thats mighty fn far away from 4ohm. New one is around .5 at each coil. Read what I fuckin typing

[twisted1 31]

Tired of talking to stupid teenagers. Been doing this shit for past 15 uears. I know what im doing.

DON'T POST UNLESS YOU HAVE SOLUTION OR ANYWAY TO FIX THIS POS

dude i was just trying to help ......and you are the one asking,plus just cuz im new to the site does not mean im a kid....just means im new to the forum......and if u actually read my whole response i said maybe somebody with more experience in reading coils can give advice.....plus cussing at people on the site is not the best option for help fyi

You're not going to get help acting like that. I would try another meter, or replace the batteries in the one you're using. Also if you look at the vc former through the cooling vents the coil configuration is written in Sharpie. Just chill if there is a mistake it will get resolved.

[twisted1 31]

Im teying to tell you are that ssa has fucked me over twice. I can make any vid showing ohm load on any meter you want fuck you can watch me read resisters to show it works properly

[twisted1 31]

I just bought new meter today from radio shack for 47 bucks an it shows same ohms my fluke does. Hell even cheap pos walmart meter shows same as 200 dolla fluke

[Quentin Jarrell 671]

where in La are you located?

[ricksi30 923]

Look at the coil former, what does it say?

[azagtoth502 31]

[twisted1 31]

2ohm

[twisted1 31]

where in La are you located?

45 min from br. More towards marksville

[twisted1 31]

An im very mad. It cost me 457 bucks for these 2 an both them have screw ups

[shizzzon 461]

Well, you're gonna love this.

 

SSA Gcons do not come in D1s like how you are measuring.

 

That means it's not SSA's fault if everything you are posting is the truth.

 

However, SSA will need to chalk up the problem if it truly is a D1 sub.

[twisted1 31]

They are fi parts ssa just glues them together. Like I said tge one in the vid is sussposed to be a dual 4 but its a dual 2 now my new one is sussposed to be a dual 2 but it measures dual .5

[shizzzon 461]

The only coil config that Fi USES for themselves that goes below 0.7 is the SP4 which is .65... 

 

Now, there's no way in hell an sp4 coil would fit in a gcon.. 

 

I also will say that Fi may possibly use coils for who they OEM for that they may not use for themselves.

 

If that's true then some OEM brand has gotten an accidental switch from what i would assume.

Its a 3in coil Soooo

[altoncustomtech 773]

Im afraid you don't know as much as you think you do, at least not in this instance. A DMM measures DC resistance only. The 4 ohm or 2 ohm rated "impedance" of any speaker is an AC resistance. Look at the "Re" spec on any sub on the market which is the DC resistance of the coil and it will almost never match the rated impedance and most times isn't even close and can even be about half the stated impedance. You were sent a D4 to start with, and got the D2 you ordered the second time. The fault is yours, not theirs.

I'm sorry, but that's the truth of it.
