Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / January 2005Dual 1 Ohm Voice cables
I just Orderd a pair of SoundStream Tarantula T4 12" subs and they ar dual 1 ohm. Does that mean that they can be wired for .5ohm and 2ohm -- JstBngI CarAudioForum.com - Usenet Gateway w/over one million posts online yes > I just Orderd a pair of SoundStream Tarantula T4 12" subs and they are > dual 1 ohm. Does that mean that they can be wired for .5ohm and 2ohm? Wow..the specs on those drivers are really impressive. 18ga voice coil windings! What are you planning to use for an amp? Remember if you parallel those down to 1/2 ohm, then bridge you amp mono, the amp will see half the load....1/4ohm. I've been out of the business for a while, but thinking back, I can't remember a 1/4 ohm stable amp. Jason >I just Orderd a pair of SoundStream Tarantula T4 12" subs and they are >dual 1 ohm.

Although it pushed a rated 20 000 watts R.M.S. That model was the Drag Queen. I can not find any more information about it, but I have found a little about the Drag King. http://www.hlabs.com/compamps/. No power ratings, but the amplifier cn take up to 1/16 of an ohm. > Wow..the specs on those drivers are really impressive. 18ga voice coil > windings!

More-or-less the generator for your local utilities. ;) > >I know Harrison Labs' prototype was .25 ohms. Although it pushed a rated 20 > > 000 watts R.M.S. That model was the Drag Queen.

Right now i just have a MTX 6500 Class D (250 x 1 @ 4ohm,500 x 1 @ 2oh RMS) witch is not anything special, its just what i had running to m old kickers. soon as i get the money i will get something mor powerfull (possibly the tarantula amp from soundstream). Do i have t run them at 4 ohm, or is there a way to drop it to 2 ohm -- JstBngI CarAudioForum.com - Usenet Gateway w/over one million posts online >Right now i just have a MTX 6500 Class D (250 x 1 @ 4ohm,500 x 1 @ 2ohm >RMS) witch is not anything special, its just what i had running to my >old kickers. soon as i get the money i will get something more >powerfull (possibly the tarantula amp from soundstream).

Just use one coil from each speaker, and wire them in series for a 2-ohm overall load. Power handling will be reduced some, but not halved. Scott Gardner |
