You have what? A dual 1ohm (two 1 ohm VC's) and a single 2 ohms VC sub? Please list the make and model of each sub and I can assist.

I have one Orion HCCASPLX 15 it’s a dual voice coil at one ohm then I have another Orion HCCASPL 15 it’s a dual voice coil at two ohms and I’m trying to figure out how to wire them both together to get an impeadence of 05. Ohm home and 1 ohm

Okay, so the HCCASPLX 15" is a dual 1 ohm and the SPL 15" is a dual 2 ohm sub. If you wire the dual 1 ohm coils in series to 2 ohms and the dual 2 to 4 ohms, then the two subs in parallel. you will have a .57 ohm load. That looks like this

Where you will likely run into problems is not the load but the fact that you're using two different drivers in the same box.

If that is the case, it's not recommended at all.

It should be ok if the chambers are divided. Only thing I foresee is the d2 not being as loud as the d1.

Agreed, IF divided. Never like doing that, in any case.

Thinking I'd sell both and get a matching pair of something else. Maybe a couple of these? Be cool to hear from someone that picks up a pair. Look pretty impressive overall.
