Advantages/Disadvantages are basically just wiring options

And a single Dual 4ohm sub gives you either 2ohm or 8ohm

ohh got it thanks.

heres my dilemma. I have a 12'' dual4 D6 powered by a d6 1000.1 @ 2 ohms roughly 500 watts rms. I wanted to add on another 12'' D6 but with both at 2 ohms, it will be underpowered right?

if you have 2 d4 subs it will wire to 1ohm or 4 ohm

if you have 1 d4 sub it will wire to 2ohm or 8 ohm

with two d4 subs, you wire a 1 or 4 ohm load

Let me sort it out

You have a Diamond D6....dual 4ohm woofer on a Diamond D6 1000.1 amplifier, it's at 2ohms right now, correct?

Buy another Dual 4ohm Diamond D6 and then you can run that amplifier at 1ohm

correct. the lowest you can wire DVC 4ohm subs is 2ohms. If you have two 12's it'll be 8-ohms which can be wired to 4ohms. so whatever your Amp pushes at 4ohms will be what power your getting which is probably WAY less. Maybe 500w each speaker if that

Incorrect. The D6 1000.1 is 1000w rms at 1ohm.

Two Dual 4 Diamond D6's is **** he needs.

If you want another sub, OP, then you need to buy another Dual 4 Diamond D6 and have the amp wired to a 1ohm load

Woot.

i thought that if you have 2 dvc 4ohm subs that it would eqaul 8ohms then i thought the lowest you could wire it would be 4ohms.
