ptheo, it depends on your amps and in your case with that high damping factor you can do anything you want. I would go with 5.3 ohms. This should be amazing with those amps. If you really want to thunder lay the cabinets down long side against the floor right back into the front wall right into the corners. Get two slabs of Granite (cut offs from local shop) and lay them right on top of the woofers. When and if you decide you like the set up tack the granite down with silicone caulking. This will stop a large portion of the cabinet resonance and in that position you will need just a 1/4 the power to get to a certain volume and the comb filtering should be less of a problem. The bass response won't change as much as you walk around the room. You could also use them as a book shelf:)
Wiring Multiple Subwoofer Drivers
I’m in the process of installing new sub drivers(Dayton Audio RSS265HF-8 ohms impedance) into my pair of Kinergetics SW-900 cabinets. Each cabinet will contains six 10” drivers. I have two options for wiring them & can’t decide which to do! I would like to know if one is better than the other & the pros/cons of each. The two different wiring diagram I’m considering are:
2 sets of 3 series drivers run parallel= 12ohms
3 sets of 2 series drivers run parallel= 5.3333ohms
12ohms:
Pros- higher damping, less distortion, less resistance, less wire
Cons- less power
5.3333ohms:
Pros- more power
Cons- less damping, more distortion, more resistance
My audio pro friend (who is much smarter than me) is assisting me with the subs, he states wiring them for 12ohms is better. But if that is case make OEM drivers & speaker designers make the products 4 to 8ohm impedance normally?
Thank you for any input, advice or suggestions!
