I bought 2 12 inch kicker comps with enclosed box at a pawn shop but how do i tell if they are 2 ohm or 4 ohm?

Question

i have dual xia 2460 amp and when its bridged if its 4 0hm is when its the loudest wattage but cant bridge it if its 2ohm it says not to. PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO TELL IF SUBS ARE 2OHM OR 4OHM?

Answer 1

theres 3 way to know the ohms on a speaker

1) unscrew the speaker from the box and check and see if its printed on the back of the sub .

2)If you know what kind of speaker exactly,you can go to kicker.com and check the specs on the manual.

3) this is the last option you have,You can test it to see if its 4 ohms or 2 ohms by using a digital or analog tester,I would recomend a digital tester easier to read.If you don't have one you can either borrow one from a friend or you can buy one at a electronic store (radio shock) use it and then return it.Once you get one its easy to test,just switch the tester to ohms and put it accross the speaker wire and it will either read 2 8 or 4 ohms.

Now if none of the above works for you,then you can take it to any audio shop and they can test it for you at a small charge or sometimes free.

good luck
