Examples for speaker configurations
One subwoofer with
a dual voice coil
Two subwoofers with
a single voice coil
In series
Two subwoofers with one voice coil (single voice coil) or one
subwoofer with dual voice coil are connected in series.
Note:
The connection of two voice coils in series will result in
doubling the impedance!
RMS output power ≤ 1% THD+N:
Two subwoofers with 1 x 2 Ohms
correspond to a total
impedance of 4 Ohms: 500 Watts
One Subwoofer with 2 x 2 Ohms
also corresponds to a total
impedance of 4 Ohms: 500 Watts
Two subwoofers with 1 x 1 Ohm
correspond to a total
impedance of 2 Ohms: 880 / 1,760 Watts
One subwoofer with 2 x 1 Ohm
also correspond to a total
impedance of 2 Ohms: 880 Watts
Note:
The negative terminal of the first voice coil has to be con
-
nected to the positive terminal of the second voice coil by using
a speaker wire with the same gauge as the other speaker.
