[QUOTE="CoreGMRConMan, post: 4295158, member: 581511"] I just received an email from Memphis about this. [COLOR=Gray][SIZE=12px]Let's see; two M3122D subs wired in series-parallel would equal a 2 ohm total load- that's not enough power.[/SIZE][/COLOR][SIZE=12px][/SIZE] [COLOR=Gray][SIZE=12px]two M3122D subs wired in parallel would equal a 0.5 ohm total load- that's too low of an impedance for your amp to handle.[/SIZE][/COLOR][SIZE=12px][/SIZE] [COLOR=Gray][SIZE=12px] [/SIZE][/COLOR][SIZE=12px][/SIZE] [COLOR=Gray][SIZE=12px]If you keep the M3122D sub you have, and series the coils (4 ohms), then take the M3124D sub with coils in parallel (2 ohms),[/SIZE][/COLOR][SIZE=12px][/SIZE] [COLOR=Gray][SIZE=12px]then put the two subs in parallel with one another, you'll get a total ohm load that is less than 2 ohms, and not only will there[/SIZE][/COLOR][SIZE=12px][/SIZE] [COLOR=Gray][SIZE=12px]not be ENOUGH power per sub, there will be twice as much power on one of them as there is the other.
