Wiring eight subs

[Dictator 39]

Whats the ohm load if you wire eight dual four ohms drivers? I know four of them ran "series/parallel" is 2ohm load. Would that mean adding four more in the same wiring configuration make it a final load of 4ohms?

Four or one.

Shogun i dont know how to use the manual calculator

Four or one.

For sure? Not a solid answer

(series/parallel) on the first 4 then wire the sets of 4 together in parallel getting you to a final load of 2 ohms. Or run them all parallel for a total of .5 ohms.

Four wired is 2ohms would it be 4ohms if you added four more doubling the load previously?

Im looking for a four ohm load thats the sweet spot.

Voice coils wired in parallel, speakers wired in series and then the pair of 4 wired in parallel for a final 4 ohm load

How would that look? The same as series parallel

Wire the next 4 like you have the first 4. Then wire the 2 sets of 4 in series .... so take the negative from one set of 4 subs and connect it to the positive of the other set of 4 then wire the remaining Negative and positive to the amp

It would look exactly like that 2 sets of 4 wired in parallel (black to black red to red) of the end of the chain.

He is saying it could be either one. Depending on how you wire them

[Dictator 39]

Yuck i cant wire it in that configuration.

Yup yup

This is the only way to wire eight of them (two pairs of four) wired in a 4ohm independence? Edited February 12, 2014 by Dictator

Ok, i'm going to word this as easy as i can as it's very easy the way it's laid out already, i'm going to attempt to "dumb it down".

 

Take ALL 8 subs and series them INDEPENDENTLY

 

Now you have 8 single 8 ohm subs.

 

Now, take each sub and series them ALL together down the line.. 

 

When you are done doing that, you will have 4 16 ohm subs left.

 

Now, take the remaining 4 subs' pos and neg and parallel them all together.

 

This will drop it down to 4 ohms.

Each pair of 16 ohm wires in parallel is 8 ohms.  The final paralleling of 2 8ohm wires is 4ohms.

 

 

Attempt to keep speaker wire during this entire wire configuration at the exact length for all subs as possible.

I just got shizzoned!! Thanks

Sigh

LOL

I thought shizzoned added a nice finishing touch. Bro has mad skilletz!
