Ive been an electrician for over 25 years and this is how i always explain current relative to voltage using water as a relateable example. I use water pressure as voltage and GPM as current. Love your videos!
Yup. A 2 ohm sub hits perfectly, I have 2 Kicker L7's dual 4 ohm wired to 2 ohm. 600 Watt RMS. People literally freak out I get that power and clarity out of 1200 watts, ported box 😊
I've been watching a lot of your videos, and you're very knowledgeable, and you keep it real. Keep up the good work. I'm slowly building a system for my car.
Great job explaining a complex concept to anyone and everyone. Great starting point for people to grasp that way hopefully they can make better choices when trying to build there systems! Good job bro keep it coming!
I love your videos so educational! And I have always been a bass freak! But there is alot I still don't know but you are helping me bridge that Gap! Thanks man God bless you and your family
Well done. This is the best video I have ever seen for explaining ohms I have subscribed and looking forward to seeing you in more videos. Thanks and keep up the great videos.
Absolutely excellent in every way! The information and the manner he explained it in show his mastery of the information and his ability to teach it to a novice. ✊🏾 Respect!!
Some people might think this sounds silly and I could imagine some immature people making fun of the way you explain but this is exactly how it should be explained! AMAZING VISUALIZATION! Some people don’t have the brain capacity to visualize a scenario and convert the main point to another scenario. You have earned a subscribe from me.
You Sir! You nailed that to a T for people that don't understand Ohms' Law! I struggled for about a good 6 months with it, diligently researching, watching others on UA-cam like yourself and using it in applications and so forth. I outloud while shaving my head listening to this said, "My Man! Finally, someone that worded it perfectly by use of a water hose example!" Wifey says , "Who u talkin' to up there?" I just laughed said I was just watchin' a video! Well done, Sir! Well done!!!
Thank you for the way you explain these things that at first glance appear to come from outer space. Electrical work used to scare me because it was all book work. I am and always have been a person who learns by getting hands on. Especially when the one who has the knowledge can articulate it in a way that is understandable. You have a way of saying it as well as metaphorically painting a picture that makes the outcome of the description crystal clear. Your encloses are so clean and I've always learned just exactly what I was looking for if you have an explanation for a particular issue I may be experiencing. Or like this video, just gaining a bit more knowledge for later on down the road where itll come in handy no doubt. Thank you man because that's a gift you've got when you can reach people without putting them to sleep. Keep up the clean work my friend and you already know what them haters do. I respect your opinion and the work you do man. Look forward to seeing what the future holds. Respect...
Thanks for “dumbing” it down for us less experienced folks. Getting ready to install a pair of L7 8’s dual 4 ohm. Was trying to decide if I am going to power them with a 1200 watt rms at one ohm or a 1300 watt at 4 ohm. This video helped me make my choice MUCH easier! Thanks brother!
i never comment on videos especially old ones but man i've been trying to grasp this concept all day long until i finally came across this video. Thank you!
This is the only time I’ve ever heard this explained, and finally explains why Alpine is so reluctant to to go lower then 2ohms on their amps, being SQ based (and the peculiarities of the MRX series when run @ 1ohm) ty bro, so glad I sub’d 🖖🏼🤓🔈
That's funny, I just made a comment about about my MRX-M240 creating 2400 Watts at 2ohm, but only 1000 Watts at 1ohm. The MRX series was a great line of amps though!
@@imdbtruth ya I don’t know why they did that, maybe to give it some ohm breathing room I guess? Alpine usually isn’t even rated @1ohm, which is a shame. There’s mods for that amp that unlock its full 1ohm potential, but you lose safety features ...still trying to find an MRX-M240 myself lol >.< M110 holding me down for now and it’s been great
Nah, it has everything to do with current. To move a ton of current with lower voltage it creates a lot of heat and stresses components vs high voltage and lower current. (Higher ohm load) If sonic purity had *ANYTHING* to do with speaker load, Soundstream would have never been recognized as one of the best sounding amp...while being 1/8th ohm stable. IF an amp loses SQ while running a low amp load, it's simply because the architecture of the amp is making is unstable. Watts are watts. 100w comes from 10 amps @100 volts, or 100amps @ 10 volts. Some applications would require high voltage and low current, and others would work better with high current and low voltage. That's all. No offense to the creator of this vid, but he's way off...or at least in realizing why/how that low impedance load sounds worse.
Glad this is 1 of the plenty videos I watched before I got my system. Every shop I was going to wanted to hook up my system at 1 ohm and hardly paid any mind to rms . They was just worried about matching wattage
Same conversation I had with the legendary Stephen Mantz about SQ before sending my amps for repair and restore out of 2 ohm vs 4 ohm I was so impressed how when I received my amps and tested it out 4 ohm hit so clean and hard vs same amp at 2 ohm PPI Art series 600.2 , Much respect and salute on your craft and knowledge having the time to enlighten us MBE!!! 💯💯💯
Stephen Mantz has turned into an old grouchy ass that believes class D is the best thing since buttered toast, and I had him repair 2 of his own amps and they both still have problems and the board inside looks like a blind person tried to do the surface mount repairs, and to top it off his shop is a disaster.
Hey bro, I am new to your channel, I am enjoying this. I have been a car audio hobbyist for years. I’ve always been fascinated by the way impedance and power worked, even though they were rated for 1ohm I have witnessed or know of the death of many amps and woofer, unless they’re really well built , because what people may not know is that impedance can change with different frequencies within a song. It’s why I always liked sticking with 4/2 ohm minimum loads. Though I wasn’t hitting as loud and “ringing “as everyone else, but I guess it’s why I still have amps around that have survived 25 plus years. Anyhow brother you’re teaching gems 👍🏽👍🏽🔥🔥🔥
Id charge a consultation fee and tell people that if they end up getting service from you that it will go towards their build. That will keep you from waisting your time from people just using your knowledge without compensation. Thanks for the video
Just seen this the first time. Honestly boss.. every way you explained clicking every step with ya.. I made my mind up what to do.. I’m keeping my 4 kickers 15 comp at out at 4 ohms and on a seperate amp for the 2 l7s and 2ohms to help control it all.. but 💯on every way you used your explanations.. faucet open/tricking and dripping.. and the control of the power for 4 ohm better than that of a 2 then a 1.. and the speaker stops on a dime at 4 and it stronger but wilder at 1 ohm.. so more control is way better if you have the power watt size to cover the watts at 4 ohms.. but you have to suplimate the power with well needed control.. more movement.. more friction.. less life too.. the best in the middle.. straight up this is the best informed hit on every point I needed to look for when I hit this video.. I will support.. you are 2decks 4 aces in my book.. thank you and I apologize for the book k just wrote on your comments.. and trust I never comment.. but I had to applaud more than a like.. keep explaining the ways you do.. I can’t wait to see more videos.. but the rest will not be this long.. haha. Thank you sir much respect!!
I like how this brother is giving a educational tutorial in science and also a excellent example using a water faucet!!! 💯 you know I subscribed but where have you been brother??? 👍
This video is 100 times more useful than trying different stuff out experimentation. I am building many custom devices for a bicycle siren handlebars alarm. I don’t want a bell on my bike I actually want a big subwoofer with obnoxious loud & noisy alarm. If my ohms load is too low impedance the transistors might run too hot; these transistors in A-B setup are fed a square wave signal from many 8 pin timer chips
Ive always heard that the lower the ohm the less heat and better on electrical because it is being more efficient...makes me want to do more research from your well explained video.
I enjoy that you give us the information at 4 ohm so the message is controlled. Some professors give their information at 1ohm and I need a nap. 😂. Man, what a great lesson. The timing is perfect. My Audio Control lc1.800 just dropped in volume by 75%. No codes or lights. While it goes out for repair, I'm going to replace it with a Rockford Fosgate T1000-1bdCP. It far more amp than what I need for my JL Audio Stealth box with two 10w1v3's but I want them to be as clean as possible and I can run them of that amp at 4ohms and still have power on tap. Plus it leaves me with options for whatever SQ setup I want.
Got kicker Cs 6¼ for my fronts, and kicker CS 6x8 for the rears, 2 kicker comp VR 15s. All kicker, all around. Hoping to hit a show for fun this upcoming year, and dive into this community! I liked your video as I have the 2 ohm 15s, I plan on doing 2 amps, 1 to each sub at 2 ohms, it's nice to have all that power, and NOT need it!!! Thanks boss 💪🙋♂️
I have a 12" running at 8 ohms and a 10" at 4 ohms. I use 2 entry-level monoblocks. The bass has a kind of immediacy and texture that a 2-ohm sub cannot deliver. These are my subjective hearing experience. This video saved me a ton of money and hassle: decent entry-level monoblocks will get the job done! Thanks for explaining this often-overlooked topic.
Awesome explanation, Today I was picking a dual cone subwoofer, and I choose the 4 ohm over the 2 ohm cause I heard a significant difference in musical notes, I had to make a connection at 2 ohms instead of 4 ohm cause the amp gets out only 300 rms on 4 ohm while the sub is 600 rms. Thanks again for the great clarification. Amp Pioneer GM-D8701 And Subwoofer Pioneer TS-D12D4
Your information is on point right now I have two subwoofers ds18 250 rms 4 ohms single with a ds18 2500.1d at 1800 rms at 2ohms can’t wait to hear them at 50 herz or lower
This help me figure out why my subs were fighting. My box was under sized on top of a low ohm. This will make your setup sound like trash. My man hits it out the park with his analogy. Good vid. Be sure people to like sub and share this vid. He shined light in dark.
great video he knows what he talking about i run class d on my newer set up and i have a old school set up to and i like to run class ab amps to they seem cleaner then class d amps
Thanks for the representation, very well explained! Now i understand more of why the 8.4in oval alpine in the jeep sounds better on 4ohm than on 1ohm, control!
I think the consultation ideas I was just thinking about that listening to this video before you mentioned anything I really like that, being on the same wavelength with someone you doent even know. And You by far know way more than I do
I'm strapped at 2 ohms just cuz I always heard it's better on the charging system, never thought about the audible differences. Thanks for the good info 👍
I think consultation is great. I've learned since I've been subscribing, that you're very knowledgeable and I've been able to research and your truths have always been verifiable! Question is, are there enough people (especially us) that's willing to humble themselves and admit that they could use some help and be willing to pay for it? I'm a diesel mechanic and so many want free info. Give it a shot Myron. Your channel is growing and hell, nothing ventured nothing gained! Keep growing man!!!!
I went from 1ohm to 4ohms now.It seems to be more controlled now to where the bass is vibrating more steady which makes it seem like it's hitting harder at 4ohms than 1ohm.I see now👍
nothing but respect everything you teach is true because you tell us to go research for ourself and everything you taught me I've done the research too and it's exactly what you say thanks for the videos and please keep up the good work in the very informative videos
Thank you sir for posting this great video! This is the best video I have found searching for ohms v.s. ohms. I am a ham radio operator but I can't explain this to my son. I am a terrible teacher. I feel like this will make more sense to him than coming from my dum**ss..
Well luckily my amp is designed well, and able to run at 1 or 2 ohms with the same power output, I love my JL audio RD1500/1.... this amp is pushing my Kicker CVX 12 to an awesome level.
Great video and 1 ohm ratings are marketing enabled by low cost high current transistors. I remember when AB amps used to have dampening factors of a 1000 or more at 2 ohm which is the lowest they could be wired.
amazing brother you educated me on this I wanted 1 ohm to replace my 4ohm after watching this ill keep it how it is thanks brother appreciate it!!!!!!!
this is the best explanation of "Damping factor" I have ever herd. there is also a difference in AMP draw from the amp. if you compare that Kicker 250.1 to a Kicker 500.1 the 250.1 does 250RMS @ 2 ohm, the 500.1 does the same 250RMS but at 4ohm and have a better "Damping factor" all while consuming 1/2 the Amps. the big difference is Dollars Per Watt.... you get a LOT more Watts for the $$$$ at the lower ohm load
I’m sorry but this man needs to be a teacher. I legit just learned so much by watching this video! Hat off to you brother. Awesome video. I will be 100 percent honest this was the best 20 minutes of any video I watched today. I just purchased two scar ddx 12” D2 “ 2ohms”. I am going to wire both subs for a final impedance of 2ohms. I don’t think I could get 1 ohm out of two 2ohm subs. The amp does say it can run 1ohm The amp is the Skar rp2000
I thought I was the only one who thought like this. I like to run huge class d amps (that are complete overkill) at 4 or even 8ohms on a single sub for sound Q purposes. Example I got an Orion XTR2500.1d on a single Soundqubed hds3.2 10” D2 wired at 4ohms 1.6 cubed box tuned to. 33Hz. Sounds fantastic. Great video MBE👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
True, I can here the difference as well, I've always loved the way 2ohm and 4ohm sounds. If they want more power, save up for an amp that does 2 to 3x more power than what your subs require. Makes a huge difference.
I need some technical advice if I explain my ohms situation and confusion with amp and speaker setup can anyone here give me perfect advice please? My sub is wired in a 1 ohm way and I think it might not be best now Thanks
I run 2 10" Kicker L7 600 Watt RMS dual 4 ohm coils wired to 2 ohm. Running an NVX NAD 104 ($160). GETTING 1250 WATTS at 2 ohm, ported box. People shake their heads when I tell them it's only 2 10s at 1200 Watt 😊
@@DJBLESSDUA-cam has ALLLLLOT of dyno tests for various amps. Give actual RMS power at 1,2 & 4 ohms. Remember if you're running 2 600 Watt Subs at 1 ohm, you need a 1200 Watt RMS amp. I prefer 2 ohm. Powerful and less distorted.
Funny you make this video , I have run into this recently, where at 4ohm the sound so much more accurate it just sounds like its Hitting much harder, that draw on the electrical at 1ohm demands those upgrades. Yet I still run mine at 1ohm . Haha
everything this man said makes total sense. i used to have 2 dvc 4ohm 12’s wired to 1ohm but my next build def gonna be wired to 4ohm even if it cost more
I was running an Deaf Bonce Avatar 3000 Watt 12" sub with 1 Ohm DVCs at .5 Ohms in parallel. It sounded nasty. I rewired it in series to 2 Ohm. OMG...sounds so much better! The sub is pushed by a Taramps Smart 3 Bass. So, I can get 3000 watts at .5 Ohms or 2 Ohms. Mr. MBE speaks TRUTH!
Ice been doing *personal* custom audio for 25+ years, always been the goto guy for friends from 7th or 8th grade til now having a kid out imof college. All I'm saying is I've got a pretty good understanding of audio systems, and pretty good idea how electricity works from engineering courses in high school and college. Point is, well Saud, great points, all valid; but I was so lost by the end I closed youtube and ordered a new inline water heater, new garden hose handles, a lift pump for master bedroom shower upstairs and emailed the city about enlarging the plumbing from street to house. This video has already cost me 12,000 dollars 😂 good job brother. Could be a politician, and all in good fun, I hope you know that. ❤
I just added an MBE enclosure to my “Bucket” list for my next audio build. I’m in California and plan to drive to MBE and pickup the enclosure personally. I hope to do this road trip within the next 6 months.
If this brother preached this in church, I would attend every Sunday! Enjoyed listening to this. LoL!
SATURDAY
He can preach! And I would go listen to him to! Lol
I'm right there with yall
AMIN!~
That’s church !
This brother here makes car audio sense lol !!!!!!!
I totally agree with the above statement!
If it don’t already make sense just leave it to the pros
Extremely intelligent and able to teach in laymen terms. I understood everything you said because how you explained it! 💪🏾😎.
Hell yeah, i agree!😂👍👍
Ive been an electrician for over 25 years and this is how i always explain current relative to voltage using water as a relateable example. I use water pressure as voltage and GPM as current. Love your videos!
That’s why I stick to 4-2 ohms. Preferably 2ohm for my subs and 4 on my mids and highs.

I'm amazed how many videos I watched. This dude makes since . He knows his shit and how to explain. Thanks.
Thank you for putting everything in layman's terms I really enjoyed listening to this segment for that matter.
Great video o finally after 3 years of doing sounds understand the beginning knowledge of ohms
Man I learned so much from this video! Thank you man! 🙏
great video he knows what he talking about i run class d on my newer set up and i have a old school set up to and i like to run class ab amps to they seem cleaner then class d amps
Thanks for the representation, very well explained! Now i understand more of why the 8.4in oval alpine in the jeep sounds better on 4ohm than on 1ohm, control!
I must say that was a DAMN good explanation of OHMs with water! Great job!
I think the consultation ideas I was just thinking about that listening to this video before you mentioned anything I really like that, being on the same wavelength with someone you doent even know. And You by far know way more than I do
Exactly what I always have in mind brother. Appreciate the confirmation
I'm strapped at 2 ohms just cuz I always heard it's better on the charging system, never thought about the audible differences. Thanks for the good info 👍
The higher the ohm the easier it is on your charging system
No amp is more efficient at 2 than it is at 4
I think consultation is great. I've learned since I've been subscribing, that you're very knowledgeable and I've been able to research and your truths have always been verifiable! Question is, are there enough people (especially us) that's willing to humble themselves and admit that they could use some help and be willing to pay for it? I'm a diesel mechanic and so many want free info.
Give it a shot Myron. Your channel is growing and hell, nothing ventured nothing gained! Keep growing man!!!!
Your a Diesel Mechanic well I have a full built 2.6SB Chevy Duramax I need some advice ha lol I had to
@@Reedic20l? Äoåp Äoåp
I went from 1ohm to 4ohms now.It seems to be more controlled now to where the bass is vibrating more steady which makes it seem like it's hitting harder at 4ohms than 1ohm.I see now👍
nothing but respect everything you teach is true because you tell us to go research for ourself and everything you taught me I've done the research too and it's exactly what you say thanks for the videos and please keep up the good work in the very informative videos
I like the way you explain things sir!!!!
Thank you sir for posting this great video! This is the best video I have found searching for ohms v.s. ohms.
I am a ham radio operator but I can't explain this to my son. I am a terrible teacher.
I feel like this will make more sense to him than coming from my dum**ss..
Brilliant. Love this guy's content
Thanks for the info helps a lot Great analogy never had it explained before like that
This is the greatest explanation i ever heard.
Well luckily my amp is designed well, and able to run at 1 or 2 ohms with the same power output, I love my JL audio RD1500/1.... this amp is pushing my Kicker CVX 12 to an awesome level.
Exactly bro same here love my JL HD1200 got two pushing two 13w7ae's ..
Great video and 1 ohm ratings are marketing enabled by low cost high current transistors. I remember when AB amps used to have dampening factors of a 1000 or more at 2 ohm which is the lowest they could be wired.
this video is not good, it only seems good to people who have no idea how amplifiers and speakers function
amazing brother you educated me on this I wanted 1 ohm to replace my 4ohm after watching this ill keep it how it is
thanks brother appreciate it!!!!!!!
I’m a 20 year elevator mechanic and that is great way to share resistance. That’s the way I tell my helpers who are learning the trade
this is the best explanation of "Damping factor" I have ever herd. there is also a difference in AMP draw from the amp. if you compare that Kicker 250.1 to a Kicker 500.1 the 250.1 does 250RMS @ 2 ohm, the 500.1 does the same 250RMS but at 4ohm and have a better "Damping factor" all while consuming 1/2 the Amps. the big difference is Dollars Per Watt.... you get a LOT more Watts for the $$$$ at the lower ohm load
I havent heard this explained any better. Thanks man.
I’m sorry but this man needs to be a teacher. I legit just learned so much by watching this video! Hat off to you brother. Awesome video. I will be 100 percent honest this was the best 20 minutes of any video I watched today. I just purchased two scar ddx 12” D2 “ 2ohms”. I am going to wire both subs for a final impedance of 2ohms. I don’t think I could get 1 ohm out of two 2ohm subs. The amp does say it can run 1ohm
The amp is the Skar rp2000
Same I was going to swap with D4s but looks like better move to just stay at 2ohms w the D2s
Wow Free Knowledge I Always Appreciate, I Learned Alot Here. Thank You Unc.
You really cleared up a lot of stuff. Thanks my guy
I thought I was the only one who thought like this. I like to run huge class d amps (that are complete overkill) at 4 or even 8ohms on a single sub for sound Q purposes. Example I got an Orion XTR2500.1d on a single Soundqubed hds3.2 10” D2 wired at 4ohms 1.6 cubed box tuned to. 33Hz. Sounds fantastic. Great video MBE👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I have a hds3 in 2.5 cu. On a cab 2000.1 at 2ohms.
This is exactly what I do. Easier on your alternator and won't heat your components up nearly as much.
True, I can here the difference as well, I've always loved the way 2ohm and 4ohm sounds. If they want more power, save up for an amp that does 2 to 3x more power than what your subs require. Makes a huge difference.
Ya im running a sfb 8k on 2 dc level 4s at 2 ohm
THD is increased with lower ohms. (More distortion)
I need some technical advice if I explain my ohms situation and confusion with amp and speaker setup can anyone here give me perfect advice please? My sub is wired in a 1 ohm way and I think it might not be best now Thanks
I run 2 10" Kicker L7 600 Watt RMS dual 4 ohm coils wired to 2 ohm. Running an NVX NAD 104 ($160). GETTING 1250 WATTS at 2 ohm, ported box. People shake their heads when I tell them it's only 2 10s at 1200 Watt 😊
@@DJBLESSDUA-cam has ALLLLLOT of dyno tests for various amps. Give actual RMS power at 1,2 & 4 ohms. Remember if you're running 2 600 Watt Subs at 1 ohm, you need a 1200 Watt RMS amp. I prefer 2 ohm. Powerful and less distorted.
Funny you make this video , I have run into this recently, where at 4ohm the sound so much more accurate it just sounds like its Hitting much harder, that draw on the electrical at 1ohm demands those upgrades.
Yet I still run mine at 1ohm . Haha
Wonderful explanation makes since. You have a new follower
everything this man said makes total sense. i used to have 2 dvc 4ohm 12’s wired to 1ohm but my next build def gonna be wired to 4ohm even if it cost more
Did they blow
Love this brother! Thanks for breaking this down
Very well explained. Thankyou so much!
Nice simplification of a complex dynamic brother. Almost lost me after the third snort but you recovered nicely.
Best explanation I’ve heard!
I was running an Deaf Bonce Avatar 3000 Watt 12" sub with 1 Ohm DVCs at .5 Ohms in parallel. It sounded nasty. I rewired it in series to 2 Ohm. OMG...sounds so much better! The sub is pushed by a Taramps Smart 3 Bass. So, I can get 3000 watts at .5 Ohms or 2 Ohms. Mr. MBE speaks TRUTH!
Ice been doing *personal* custom audio for 25+ years, always been the goto guy for friends from 7th or 8th grade til now having a kid out imof college. All I'm saying is I've got a pretty good understanding of audio systems, and pretty good idea how electricity works from engineering courses in high school and college. Point is, well Saud, great points, all valid; but I was so lost by the end I closed youtube and ordered a new inline water heater, new garden hose handles, a lift pump for master bedroom shower upstairs and emailed the city about enlarging the plumbing from street to house. This video has already cost me 12,000 dollars 😂 good job brother. Could be a politician, and all in good fun, I hope you know that. ❤
I used to have the old school ZR1000s had 2 of the. They are power hungry ! Great amps back in the day.
Great video, great explanation!
I just added an MBE enclosure to my “Bucket” list for my next audio build. I’m in California and plan to drive to MBE and pickup the enclosure personally. I hope to do this road trip within the next 6 months.
