Advise on adding another speaker on a system

[Shaka]

Hey fellas, The system currently running 1 pioneer dual 4 speaker with a Quantum audio 1500 w monoblock 2 ohm amp. How can someone add another 12" without changing the amp ?

Thanks for the info. how about another dual 2 ohm. How will that affect the system.

d2 ohm run parallel = 1 ohm.

d4 ohm run parallel = 2 ohm.

1 ohm & 2 ohm parallel =

1.5 ohm load.

d4 run parallel = 2 ohm

d2 run series = 2 ohm

you run dem parallel you get 1 ohm you run dem series you get 4 ohm load.

you run dem parallel you get 1 ohm you run dem series you get 4 ohm load

horse u loss me dey....
i think what slackerjack tryin to say is...


*(SVC - single voice coil, DVC - dual voice coil)*

1 - DVC 4 ohm subwoofer wired in series - 8 ohms
wired in parallel - 2 ohms
1 - DVC 2 ohm subwoofer wired in series - 4 ohms
wired in parallel - 1 ohm

2 - DVC 4 ohm subwoofers wired in parallel - parallel would give you a load of 1 ohm.
2 - DVC 4 ohm subwoofers wired in series - parallel would give you a load of 4 ohms, the same applies to parallel - series.
2 - DVC 4 ohm subwoofers wired in series - series would give you a load of 16 ohms.

2 - DVC 2 ohm subwoofers wired in parallel - parallel would give you a load of 0.5 ohm.
2 - DVC 2 ohm subwoofers wired in series - parallel would give you a load of 2 ohms, the same applies to parallel - series.
2 - DVC 2 ohm subwoofers wired in series - series would give you a load of 8 ohms.


your amplifier is stable @ 2 ohms so you would need either
2 - SVC 4 ohm Subwoofers in parallel that would give you a 2 ohm load
or
2 - DVC 2 ohm subwoofers wired in series - parallel or parallel - series to give you a load of 2 ohms.

What dotishness u talkin?...read what you saying and try again

oh firetruck man pios, ah make a mistake man, doh eat meh fuh dat nah.

i was trying tuh make things a lil clear fuh de man while in a half asleep state.

fellas thanks for the help. I will sell the Dual 4 ohm pioneer speaker and buy 2 D2 and wire it for 2 ohm load.
