unstrap them

have you already bought the subs? You can get 2ohms out of 4 D4's

 

[chsvick5 10+ year member]

yes i already have them. i couldnt really find dual 4 ohms available on those they r lanzar opti1232d

if i unstrap em they would run at .5 ohm each :/

unstrap them and wire 2 subs per amp, for a 2 ohm load

connect one positive and one negative together on each sub, then run pos to pos and neg to neg on each sub, then to inputs on amp

If you think you could squeeze 1.6 and still be stable, here's the way to do it:

Wire 2 subs each to 4ohm (series) then wire those two together to 8ohm (series)

Wire the other 2 to 4ohm (series) each.

Then parallel the 8ohm total pair to the two 4 ohm subs

= 1.6ohm

8ohm + 4ohm + 4ohm = 1.6ohm

will try. are u sure the subs wont go out of phase??

Not unless you wire something wrong. (I assume you know what is meant by series/parallel)

Phase errors happen when one sub or more is moving opposite of the other(s) causing cancellation of the sound waves.

8ohm + 4ohm + 4ohm = 1.6ohm

You're kidding right? You realize that the ones that are wired together to 8ohms would get like a 4th of the power the other two get, yes?

You can wire each pair to either 2 or .5 ohms.

You can wire all four to either 4 or 1 ohms.

Yes, that is understood. But that is the only way he will get close to 2ohms.Below20 has the best idea in my opinion; unstrap them.
