2 dual 2 ohm subs, and 1 dual 1ohm sub = 1ohm?

[maniackilla 10+ year member]

I have 2 Soundstream T5-15s and 1 of the previous series; Only difference is dual 2ohm vs dual 1ohm.

I have the 2 dual 2 ohm subs wired to 1ohm each, then paralleled to a half ohm. I then hooked the dual 1ohm sub up at 2ohms and series'd it with .5 load from the other 2 subs on my gp3000d. Is everything getting 1000 watts 'effectively'

Im debating on not getting 4 15s for my car since I can JUST get 3 in the trunk and I happen to have my old Soundstream sub. Each is rated at 1kwrms.

Obviously its not perfect. Im just asking for help, why do people just poke fun all the time nowadays regardless. I'm not retarded, I'm just curious about an ohm load that is very tangible.

It doesn't work like that. You need all subs to be the exact coil configuration. Take the dual 1 out.

^ what he said if not the subs will see 3000w but it won't be divided equally amongst them.
