you could but you would have a crazy uneven ohm- impedence. but it'll work for sure

Yes, you can have a 2 ohm subwoofer and a 4 ohm subwoofer in the same system. However, it is important to match the impedance to avoid damaging your amplifier. You can wire them in series or parallel to achieve a compatible overall impedance for your amplifier.

What is difference between 2 ohm and 4 ohm sub-woofers?

It is the impedence (coil resistence)normally sub component (drivers)are in 8 ohms impedence.2 in parralel is 4 ohms and 4 in parralel makes it 2 ohms.


Set up 2 4 ohm sub to 2 ohm?

If you are trying to pump a 2.4 ohm sub with a 2 ohm rated amplifier you should be fine. The rating on the amplifier is the least resistance it should have on its load. Anything less than 2 ohms would fry your amp.


How do you wire up a dual 4 ohm sub to 2 ohms?

i dont now


Is an 8 ohm sub woofer better than a 4 ohm sub woofer?

no the higher the ohm the more resistance in the speaker the lower the resistance the more power it will use so if they are the same make the 4 ohm should be louder


1000watt rms 2 ohm 15inch subwoofer what would be the best wattage amplifier to pair with this and would it have to be 2 ohm aswell?

is it duel 2 ohm or duel 4 ohm or just a singel 2 ohm sub??? you can run anything from a 1 ohm amp to a 2 ohm amp just depending if you want to add another sub later if your wanting to add 1 later get 1 big enough to run 2 subs so you wount be wasting your money on sumthing you dont need say 5 months from now


How do you wire 2 8 ohm subwoofers to a 4 ohm amp?

Hook all the negatives together, and hook all the positives together. you would have 2 wires for each. one from the amp to the first sub, and another going from the first sub to the second.


Can you replace subwoofer in 2000 Chevy Tahoe with aftermarket subwoofer?

Your SUV comes with a 8" subwoofer from the factory. Most likely a 4-ohm sub. I know the Kicker Comp VT 8" will bolt right in and you can get them either 2-ohm or 4-ohm. You would probably notice quite a difference putting a 2-ohm in.


Will 8 ohm sub woofers work with a 4 ohm amp?

if you put 2, 8 ohm speakers together on the same channel you will trick the amp into seeing a 4 ohm load, it is not advisable to run a 8 ohm coiled speaker on a 4 ohm amp unless you do the above. So if you want to run 2 8 ohm speakers from a 4 ohm amp this will work the best although the amp will need to be hefty as its worse to underpower a sub than overpower it! I have used a 8 ohm speaker myself on a car amp and had no problems but it was not a cheap entry level amp! some amps will take it, others will get hot and enter protection mode. Hope this helps!!!


What will happen if a hook up an 8 ohm sub to a 4 ohm amp?

The sound quality won't be very good


How can three resistors of 2 ohm 3 ohm and 4 ohm be connected to give a total resistance of 4 ohm?

2 in series with 3&4 in parallel


Why buy an 8 ohm sub?

I have recently purchased 2 10" Kicker Comp 8-ohm subs for the simple reason that I already had an amp that matched the power rating for the subs at a 4-ohm load (amps rating). The amp will put out about 800w @ 2-ohm and 400w @ 4-ohm load (rms values). By running 2 single voice coil 8-ohm subs wired in parallel you are effectively cutting the impedance in half (8 + 8 = 4-ohm in parallel). To do this you simply connect the positive terminal of one sub to the positive of the other sub and then to the positive of the speaker output on the amp. Same with the negatives, sub to sub then to amp. Had I purchased the more common 4-ohm single voice coil subs my load to the amp would have been 2-ohms and too much power would be getting to the subs (100 watts more rms power than the peak power the subs could handle). I did this because of the space I had available and also because the Kicker Comp has performed well for me in the past as an entry-level woofer. Hope this helps!


Can you hook up a 4ohms sub and a 2ohms sub to the same amplifier?

ONLY if your amp can pull a 2 ohm load! Which is vary few but your more expensive amp can pull 1/2 ohm load
