Hey everybody, I have a 1 ohm 10" subwoofer and a 600w amp which can use 2 and 4 ohm subwoofers. I have obtained a 3 ohm resistor in hope to attach it inline with the subwoofer wires to make a 4 ohm sub. Would this work?
You have a 3 ohm resistor - what is the watt rating?
If the sub is a dual voice coil you can connect the coils in series and double the resistance - making it a 2 ohm load.
I doubt a resistor is going to work very well but you might give it a try - just make sure its a big one - you'll need it to dissipate lots of heat.
I dont know much about this stuff but it says Dual on the subwoofer and i (think) the resistor is a 1/4 watt its one of those smaller bead looking ones.
