[QUOTE="metalheadjoe, post: 8823858, member: 581422"] I'm almost certain someone will chime in with "you shouldn't mix different subs" to sound smart, but I'm going to actually going to address your question. Take my advice at your own risk: Depending on the quality of your amp, you shouldn't run a lower impedance than it is rated for. Your three subs cannot be wired to an ideal load to the amp. If I were you, I'd wire your dvc sub's coils in series, then wire it in parallel with the two svc 4 ohm subs. Your amp will see a 1.33 ohm load, which may cause it to go into protection mode. There really isn't any other way to wire your three subs without really diminishing your amp's output. You are correct; changing the driver impedance strongly impacts the amp's output. [/QUOTE]
