[QUOTE="Savant, post: 160440, member: 546108"] This is all based on your amps.. I would say as long as you keep each type of speakers on one amp you should be ok.. So, the 2 2ohm dvc to 4 ohm each on an amp that has good power at 4 ohm.. then the 2 4 ohm dvcs to 2 ohm on a 2 ohm stable amp.. If you are talking about having all 4 on one amp, I think you will have to adjust the wring in ways that makes a consistent load for all 4 subs.. meaning you could have 1 2ohm to 4, and 1 4ohm to 2, put those together and you should have a 2 ohm load? but now you have mixed sub types and probabaly differing power handling (though, I doubt you would run one set louder than the other anyway).. Actaully, if you mix them like that, you are pretty much assured to have each pair getting the same power.. if you keep the 2s and 4s on seperate amps, you might have a bit harder time getting them all set up the same.. *shrug* That's just my take on it.. Not sure if there is an issue mixing types/etc., but I'd guess that as long as you stay below the power handling of the weaker subs, you should be ok.. [/QUOTE]
