anyone know how to get 2 d2's at .5 ohm load?

I've been missing out on about 500 watts because im wired to 1 ohm. i'm running 2 incriminator death penalty 18's at about 15 cubes ported. thank you! (if not because of rise let me know)

You don't have 2 dual 2s wired at 1.

You are probably at 2 ohm right now. You need to wire in parallel. Basically, all positive terminals connected together then to amp positive speaker output, and all negative speaker terminals connected together then connected to amp negative speaker output.

Parallel/parallel will make it .5 ohm. Can the amp handle it?

wired to half an ohm and the final load is .9 to 1 ohm. wired parallel. i'm thinking box rise.

Sure they aren't .7 or 1.4 ohm coils? What does each subwoofer ohm at?

Is that playing music? You only get box rise when playing

resting coils tend to fluctuate a tiny bit this way or that... my dual 2 ohm coil subs wired to gether for .5 ohm at the amp actually read .7 or .8 ohms because im not shure exactly why but this is generaly concidered normal and dont sweat it to much.

my tc3k 12" quad 1.4 ohm coils i had wired paralell / series and the math should of read 1.4 at the amp terminals - but it read 2.0

for as much as you would think it abnormal its just what happens
