How Do You Wire A Car Audio System As 2 Ohm?
The concept of resistance, as measured in ohms, causes much confusion for many car audio novices. Resistance is the result of what the car audio system is directing its output towards; in this case, the car’s speakers. If you want to wire a car audio system as 2 ohms, you’ll need to employ speakers, or a combination of speakers, that present a 2-ohm load to the receiver or amplifiers in your car audio system. Since most car audio speakers are 4 ohms, you’ll need to employ parallel wiring to achieve a 2-ohm impedance. Get two 4-ohm speakers for each output channel of your amplifier. For example, if you have a two-channel amplifier, you’ll need four 4-ohm speakers. Cut and prepare speaker wire. For each pair of speakers you’ll be using, you’ll need a length of wire long enough to reach from your amplifier to the first speaker and a second length long enough to reach from the first speaker to the second speaker. Cut the wires to length with wire cutters, and remove a half-inch of insulati
