Running a sub at 8 ohms?
I am setting up my new install and the sub(JL 8W3v2) I have has dual 4 ohm
voice coils. I had planned on running the sub, wired in parallel, at 2 ohms total, but after reading my amps manual, I see that bridged channels are only recommended on 4 or 8 ohm loads. If I run my sub at 8 ohms, the amp is rated at 240w into that load, which should be plenty for my application. Is there a reason to NOT run my sub at 8 ohms by wiring my dual voice coils in series? Thanks. |
