Dual 2-Ohm or Dual 1-Ohm Subwoofer Help

[chartman18 10+ year member]

I plan to get a Fi BL with cooling options and all, but Im a little confused on which kind of wiring ohms to get. I believe they have dual 1 or 2-ohm wiring subwoofers, and what I want is to get 1-ohms total, should I get a 2-ohm subwoofer and wire both the coils to get 1-ohm? Is that right? Or do I get just the 1-ohm subwoofer and..well, I dont know what haha. Any input and help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

2ohm DVC will wire down to 1ohm. Would be perfect for that Bxi amp...

I got to reading on the Fi site but it might be different for the Q but for the Ssd's I planned to buy the dual 2 was at 1.5 per coil and the Dual 1 was at .75 and I heard the BXi's dont like to be run under 1 ohm which is also the line of amp I plan to run....But im trying to run 2 just remember about the actual coil readings when u pick

What you are looking at is the DC resistance of the coils. The impedance will be higher than that. You'll be fine with the D2.

So getting a D2 Fi BL subwoofer is the one I need to get 1-ohms on my amplifier?

Awesome, thanks for the help guys. I love this *bleeping* forums. lol.
