2 Quad 1ohm subs wired to?

[NhustlaR 10+ year member]

Can I wire them in parallel/series wiring to get a .5 ohm load on two subs?

I see on RE audio's old site they have the quad wiring that can wire to the individual impedence, but I am not sure if this will work....

Any help?

Again I want to take two quad 1's and make a final impedence of .5 ohm

so u wanna wire 4 1 ohm coils to 2 .5coils?

Wire in parallel. Positive to postive, and negative to negative.

no, I want to get two subs, both quad 1 ohm coils.... I want the final impedence to be .5 ohm

Can I hook them to be a final impedence of 1 ohm per sub, and put them together?

series 2 coils on each sub, then parallel those to 1ohm

then parallel the two subs

i think, too many subs and coils for my tired brain

haha thats what i thought, wire each sub to 1 ohm, then wire the 1 ohm subs to the amp.... 1 ohm and 1 ohm = .5

haha I thought it could be done, but I wanted to double check before I dumped money into subs I couldnt use....

x2 ... Hope you've got a bunch of wire //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Yes, 2 quad 1s can be run at .5 ohm.

wire each sub parrallel on itself making .25 ohm then series the 2 subs together...should come out to .5
