I am considering building an WWMT, using two 8'' or 10'',4 ohm woofers wired in series to give 8 ohms nominal. Bass performance is very important to me(not boomy,but tight,accurate and punchy). :roll: Can anyone give me some serious reasons why this will not be satisfactory,compared to 8 ohm woofers in parallel. I would be using drivers with a high sensitivity as I realise I won't be getting the 6db increase @2.83v as when drivers are in parallell.
I have built a number of MTM/S and WWMT and have some very high quality,high powered CLASS A amplifiers. However,even though my amps are very capable of handling 4 ohm nominal speakers--there is still the heat problem, and I know that if I was driving 8 ohm nominal speakers-there would be less heat.After all--I listen to my music loud and for long periods.And I do enjoy the Bass performance from my speakers that have twin 8''(8ohm)drivers in parallel.
Basically,my question is--can I get the same Bass from series wired speakers? :roll:
I am also considering WWMTM with the using 4ohm drivers for woofers and mids wired in series.
I have only listed to one set of speakers with two 8'' drivers wired in series--and I wasn't impressed with the bass. Maybe I just listened to the wrong pair.
I'd really appreciate some in depth replies to this one as it has been bugging me for ages.
