I have 3 d2 subs.. if i bridge all three and run wires to a strapped amp.. would i have a 1ohm load from subs equalling .66 strapped or would i have a .5 load from subs... wanting to strap around .5 dont want to get alot lower .. make since??

cliffnote: 3 d2 subs.. how do i wire to get diff loads.. Thanks

3 d2 subs is like 1.34...well supposed to be 1.34ohms...but check it with a DMM. whatever read out you get each amp will be seeing half of that

i think by wiring the subs the way i have them they are at .5 going into the amps before strapping?

right.. thenstrapping 1.34 gives you around .67 like i was thinking

yes it does. but my three sa8's showed right around 1.16--1.24 instead of 1.34....so id suggest checking it with a dmm
