Can you mix a D4 sub with a D2?

[PuZo 10+ year member]

I have an IDQ v3.D4 and I want to get another one. I know if I get another one I can run it at 1 ohms, so if I get a IDQ V3.D2 would I still be able to run it at 1 ohms? Thanks

don't run subs with different ohm coils. not good

that's a bad idea. get two identical subs.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

dont you do it.

D4 can go 2 ohms or 8 ohms

d2 can go 4 ohms or 1 ohm

no way you can get a 1 ohm load with a d2 and a d4

why? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif I thought its just an impedance difference? Sure he wont get it to 1 ohm. but why is it a bad idea in general?

you could I guess. Your ohm load will be weird if u do that though.

The 2 subs will not receive the same power.

i would think if they were run in seperate chambers with seperate amps it would be ok if power output is matched on both.

Virtually impossible to do. Also, with different amps and coil impedances you may run into phase differences which would lead to cancellation issues.

yes.. you could

but 1 would receive more power
