name that ohm

Clipped · 24th January 2008, 12:38 PM

what would 16, 8, 2 ohms in parrallel equal?

1.45 ohms, but it's a really poor thing to do - and a waste of time, the 2 ohm driver will get almost all the power.

actually thats what im trying to accomplish....

how'd you comeup with 1.45 ohms?

You can find impedance calculators all over the internet but Perry also has one on his site as well

It's a simple formula:

1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3

Where Rt equals the total resistance.

ok, thanks guys...i have Perry's site on disc, but missed the impedence calculator.
