How the hell should we know, you didn't give an ohm rating.

Cough it up.....

lol sry there all 4 ohm's

 

[ilaydit 10+ year member]

is it 2 single 4 ohm and 2 dual 4ohm

series the 2 svc's, then series EACH dvc's, then wire in paralell for a 2.66ohm load.

yes, 2 single 4 ohm and 2 dual 4ohm

couldnt u get 1.33 off that in parallel?

wow dbfan nice avatar!!!

yea could i wire them all in parallel

6 four ohm coils.

2 dvc 4ohm

2svc 4ohm

first lets take the 2 DVC subs and make them 2 SVC subs.

So wire the the speaker inputs on each sub in series to get two 8ohm subs

Now take the two SVC subs and wire the two of them together in series to make them 8ohms

You now have three pairs(+,-) speaker wires to hook to the amp.

Wire these three in parrallel at the amps speaker terminals.

Three 8ohm loads in parellel

The amp will now see a 2.666666667 ohm load

Another option

Take the 2 DVC subs and wire all of their coils in parralell (jump the positive over to each of the other positive terminals of the DVC woofers, same with negative)

This will give a 1ohm load, (4, 4ohm coils in parrallel)

Take the 2 svc subs and do the same, this will give a 2ohm load

You now have two pairs of speaker wires(+,-) to hook to the amp.

If you wire the two pairs in series you will get a 3ohm load

If you wire the 2 pairs in parrallel you will get a .66666666.. ohm load

wow thx, .66 ohms would be bad though right?

Well I don't know the minimum load your amp can handle so I cant say if it would be bad or good.

If the amp is rated to run down to .5 ohm it will be fine.
