1 ohm subs

[Gianotti 10+ year member]

i kno there has been countless threads about 1ohm sub wiring, but i cant ever find what im looking for nor does any company, IE: rockford fosagte and others, have 1ohm wiring diagrams. and my ? has never been anwsered. i have 2 18 BTL's 1ohm DVC's. i want a diagram of how to wire my subs at a 1ohm load, but i want to parallel the woofers and then series them at the amp. i kind of understand it, but am still confused. On the first woofer i would do + from coil 1 to + on coil 2, then - on coil 1 to - on coil 2. then the same for the other woofer as well. Then from there each sub is seeing .5ohm load. ( i think). after this how would i jump the first woofer to the second one, then to the amp? can anyone out there make up a diagram for me? i would really appreicate it. thanks

I dont have ms paint on the work computer for a diagram but you take the positive off one speaker and the negative off the other speaker and wire that to the amp. Than take the positive and negative of each speaker that you have left and hook them together.

Almost all diagrams will show the vioce coils in series and then the speakers parallel...

sorry thats for dvc 2 ohm subs, but its the same diagram so it will work for you

yea, thats the way i have my subs wired now, i dont wanna wire em up like that, thats seriesed at the woofer, i need parallel at the woofer.

the main reason i want them wired up like that, is b/c im gettin my new stetsom amp in and i talked to alan dante and he told me to wire em up like that for the amp, i just wanted a diagram and like i said before i understand things better when they are drawn out for me.

Out of curiosity, What is the difference in wiring it like that if the amp is seeing the same load?
