[QUOTE="conecommander, post: 2866279, member: 568170"] I have an MA audio hk2000d mono block amp rated at: 750w @ 4 ohms 1000w @ 2 ohms 1500w @ 1 ohm. I would like to power my two JL Audio 10w6v2’s with this amp. The subwoofers are in the dual 4 ohm voice coil configuration. They are rated at 400w, warranty void at the 750-800w range. [URL="http://mobile.jlaudio.com/pdfs/RecPowerChart.pdf"]http://mobile.jlaudio.com/pdfs/RecPowerChart.pdf[/URL] I was originally thinking of wiring each sub @ 2 ohms, and in parallel for a final 1 ohm load. According to my amplifier power ratings (which I know are over rated) I would be giving each sub approximately 750w. I looked at the parallel calculator on [URL="http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/boxcalcs.asp"]http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/boxcalcs.asp[/URL] and plugged in one 8 ohm and one 2 ohm load, which gives a total impedance of 1.6 ohms. I also plugged in one 8 ohm and one 4 ohm load, which gives a total impedance of 2.666 ohms. I’ve never wired subwoofers together in either of the last two ways I mentioned, nor have I read about other people doing it. So I’m kind of skeptical I guess. Does anyone have any advice on how I should configure these for the best match to my amplifier? [/QUOTE]
