Examples for speaker configurations
Mono
Subwoofer with one voice coil (single voice coil)
Maximum output power of this configuration:
1 x 4 Ohms: 240 / 480 Watts
1 x 2 Ohms: 410 / 820 Watts
1 x 1 Ohm: 600 / 1,200 Watts
Parallel operation
Two subwoofers with one voice coil (single voice coil)
or one subwoofer with dual voice coil are connected in
parallel.
Note: The parallel connection of two voice coils will
result in halving the impedance!
Maximum output power of this configuration:
Two subwoofers with 1 x 4 Ohms correspond to a total
Two subwoofers with
a single voice coil
impedance of 2 Ohms: 410 / 820 Watts
One subwoofer with 2 x 4 Ohms also corresponds to a
total impedance of 2 Ohms: 410 / 820 Watts
Two subwoofers with 1 x 2 Ohms correspond to a total
impedance of 1 Ohm: 600 / 1,200 Watts
One subwoofer with 2 x 2 Ohms also corresponds to a
total impedance of 1 Ohm: 600 / 1,200 Watts
