6 Dual 2's on a bass 8k wiring help

[MattinMO]

Say if one had 6 dual 2 ohm subwoofers and a taramps bass 8k 1 ohm, what is the optimal wiring diagram? I don't know why I cant wrap my head around this so flame me all you want. 

so 2 banks of 3 subs wired 1.3 ohms each bank final load be 2.6

3 banks of 2 subs 1 ohm each bank but then the final load be 3 ohms 

….im retarded lately...teething baby = no sleep

You can wire to .66 but I'm not sure what the bass 8k is stable to. If you're talking about a hd8k you shouldn't wire it below 1 ohm

how would I wire to a final load of .66 on a mono amp? do I need a distro block?

Run two parallel groups of 3 subs with coils in series 

or

two series groups of 3 subs with coils in parallel

series all the subs and wire them all parallel to the amp.

what would the final load to the amp be? care to jot down a diagram of that??

Six DVC drivers with Voice Coils in Series / Parallel

Six Dual Voice Coil Speakers in Series / Parallel


Connecting the two voice coils of each driver in series (+ to -) and the drivers themselves in parallel (+ to +, etc.) will result in the following impedances:

• Dual–8 Ohm Subwoofers: 2.67 Ohms
  
• Dual-6 Ohm Subwoofers: 2 Ohms
  
• Dual–4 Ohm Subwoofers: 1.3 Ohms
  
• Dual–2 Ohm Subwoofers: 0.7 Ohm
  
• Dual–1.5 Ohm Subwoofer: 0.5 Ohm

Might want to ask if the Bass 8k is also .5 stable. I haven't seen many of them in the US yet to know.

I thought @Popwarhomie said the bass series are supposed to be stable below 1 ohm however probably not recommended by taramps

Depends on whether or not the Bass 8k was available in the US market when you heard that

You will be fine running the Bass 8k at .66
