help wiring subs!

[irupp33 10+ year member]

OKay ive got 5 D4 10s and one amp... Now I was playin with it and have 2 subs at 2 ohm and 3 at 8 ohm giving me a .72 load right? Well the 2 that are wired lower seem to move more... Is this going to happen or is something not right? What configurations are there to get as low a load as possable?

of course the ones at lowe ohm load are moving more..... they are getting more power.

well,,,

what kind of amp do you have?? how many channels? what is its lowest ohm rating? what are your subwoofers voice coil configuration? svc or dvc? 4 ohm or 2, if dvc?

PA A2400db (Mono Amp) Subs are Dual 4s

I was running 4 subs at .5 ohm daily ran fine with no probs at all didnt even heat up...

how were you running your 4 dvc4 subs to get a .5 ohm load? With 4 dvc4ohm speakers,, your amp will only see either a 2 ohm load or an 8 ohm load.

and that amp is only 1ohm stable.. Maybe you have been lucky so far at .5 ohms,, if you were really putting that resistance on it.. but is is terrible idea to push it that hard
