wiring options for 2 subs (2 omhs vs 4 ohms)
I am going to get 2 10" subs for my car. I can get an amp for about
$300 that provides 600RMS x 1ch at 4 ohms. Or I can get one that provides 600RMS x 1 ch at 2 ohms for $100 less. Money for me is a big concern, but quality is what I am after, I want the best bass I can get from say 50-225hz. I can get 2 dual voice coil (2 4ohms coils) subs or 2 single voice coil (single 4 ohms) subs. this give me 3 option I would look to utalizing. 1) wire the dvc subs to be 2 ohms a peice then wire them in series to make the total load 4 ohms. 2) wire the dvc subs to be 8 ohms a peice, and wire them in parallel to make a total load of 4 ohms. Or 3) wire the single voice coil subs (4 ohms) in parallel to make a 2 ohms total load. My questions are. 1)is there a difference between the 2 ways I would wire the dvc subs? 2) if I went with the single vc subs, would there be enough of a difference between the sound with 600RMS with the cheaper amp VS getting the total load to be 4 ohms and having to pay more for the more powerful amp? (But if there is a difference, please let me know) And I am looking for sq, I don't want to be an spl monster(but I want a lot of high quality bass and midbass, I am not to worried about the frequencies between about 18-35hz). And I will be using the smallest sealed encloser I can get away with (probably around .60 cubic feet per sub) |
