Yes, I thought the meter was playing tricks on me until I saw the stickers on the woofers. All eight measure 0.7 to 0.9 ohm DC, no kidding.

SWMBO is shaking her head as I type but has the smarts to know this is better motorcycle racing or parachute jumping so has agreed to allow me my vices.

That will be a tall speaker!

3 Woofers 1 coax 1 woofer in the vertical line would be better than 4 woofers 1 coax. You're doing OB?

CLS · 8th October 2010, 03:51 AM

But ordinary drivers of nominal 8 Ohm impedance have 5~6 Ohm DCR / about 3 Ohm DCR to 4 nom., no?

Are these 1 or 2 Ohm double VC woofers?

Yes, I am thinking like you with the layout but they will have to be a ported box. Low Q on those woofers.
