[QUOTE="T.I.K., post: 8123192, member: 626887"] This is a bad idea. You are only going to be able to wire one set down to 1 ohm(or 4 ohms), and the other down to 2 ohms. Running two different sets of different impedance subs is going to make it nearly impossible to match output between the sets. 1200w @ 1 ohm is not the same as 1200w @ 2 ohms. While at first glance, it seems logical, there is more to it than that. 1200w @ 1 ohm results in a current draw of ~34.6a 1200w @ 2 ohm results in a current draw of ~24.5a what does this mean?! It means that at 1 ohm there is more current passing through the coil, and creating a larger magnetic field, which generates more motor force, which translates into causing more movement of the subwoofer's cone. So if you have one set of woofers that is trying to move farther the other set in the same box, it might cause some issues. It's also kind of a ghetto way to set up a wall, lol. If you don't have the money to do it right, don't do it. [/QUOTE]
