2-Ohm subwoofer system (DPX1851/DPX11551)
This application shows a DPX1851 or DPX11551 driving a pair of DVC 2 Ohm
subwoofers.
DPX1851/DPX11551 speaker configuration
The units produce maximum power when connected to a 2 Ohm load. Under no
circumstance should loads under 2 Ohms be used with these units.
Do not connect a load less than 2-Ohm as permanent damage
may occur and the warranty will be nullified.
The following DPX1851 or DPX11551 configurations achieve full power.
Driver type
Single-voice coil - 8 Ohm
Single-voice coil - 4 Ohm
Single-voice coil - 2 Ohm
Dual-voice coil - 8 Ohm
Dual-voice coil - 4 Ohm
Dual-voice coil - 2 Ohm
Other speaker configurations are possible using a combination of series and parallel
wiring. See your authorized Clarion dealer for assistance.
