another question about wiring

[ructwenty2 10+ year member]

ok, ive seen the diagrams for wiring two dual voice coil subs in parallel. my amp has two positive terminal and two negative terminals. so could i wire each sub in parallel separately. would i still get a one ohm load if the both subs have dual 4 ohm voice coils

im guessing u have a jbl 1200.1 or 600.1??? if its one of them.....u could do it either way....its made that way for wiring ease....

i have a lanzar optidrive 1000w monoblock amp. so if i did it that way i guess i would still have a 1 ohm load. thats what i'm not sure about.

well if im not mistaken that amp is similar to the jbl1200.1 in that aspect.....basicly one channel w/ 2 outputs......try it either way.....

Well obviously if you have two DVC 4-ohm subs..and you wire them to paralle u are going to get a 1-ohm of resistance..However, I dont think that you will be able to get a 1-ohm load if u wire each of the subs parallel separetly..I am just writing real quick so I havent had time to re-check that..But **** I would just wire the subs parallel to both of the subs off 1-one channel and then u know you are going to get a 1-ohm overall resistance! But I would re-check if I were you!
