Ohms?????

What ohm do you come out with when you wire 3 dual 6 ohm subs together. Is it 1 ohm??? im usually good with stuff like this but this 3ohm and 6ohm stuff got me going wacko!! Thanks!!!

It all depends on how you wire them up serial or parallel or a combination. What ohms are you trying to achieve?

 

[cochino12]

usually 4 or 1

What do you mean by dual? Three pairs of speakers or Three dual coil speakers and if dual coil, how are you wiring the coils together, series or parallel?

For series connections:

R=r1+r2+r3......

For parallel connections:

R= 1/[1/r1+1/r2+1/r3.....]

Assuming you have 3 dual coil speakers and each individual coil is 6 ohms:

Speakers in series, coils in series - 36 ohms

Speakers in series, coils in parallel - 9 ohms

Speakers in parallel, coils in series - 4 ohms

Speakers in parallel, coils in parallel - 1 ohm

I should of made this clearer. (3) Dual 6 ohm woofers hooked up in series
