Help with ohm load...

[agarabaghi 10+ year member]

So I want to run 2 Audio Pipe APSM 1300 bridged together.

Im pretty sure they will do 2000w @ 2ohm when hooked up together.

Now the issue, I want to run 3 subs on them. I already own the subs, so im kinda out of luck with wiring.

(2) RE SX 10" dual 2 ohm

(1) Sundown Audio SA10 dual 2 ohm

So will this work?

Wire the 2 RE Audio SX(x) to 8 ohms.

Wire the Sundown SA10 to 4 ohms.

Wire them in parallel and ill end up with a 2 ohm load.

I should be able to wire the 2 RE in series to get 8 ohms with them being in 2 boxes...

Sounds good right?

you would get 6 not 2. just drop them down to 1 each then series them and get 3. thats just imo i maybe wrong i think it is bad to also mismatch subs with each other due to different specs but i maybe wrong

4 + 8 in parallel gives me 2 on 12volts calculator

when u wire down a d4 u get 2 your cal is wrong

i don't have any d4 subs?

All 3 are DVC 2ohms...

Never ever mismatch subs

 

[agarabaghi 10+ year member]

why not?

The will each be in separate boxes

i would suggest not wiring up 2 different subs but because ur gonna do it anyways regardless of advice

Dual-6 Ohm Subwoofers: 4 Ohms

Dual-4 Ohm Subwoofers: 2.67 Ohms

Dual-2 Ohm Subwoofers: 1.33 Ohms

Dual-1.5 Ohm Subwoofer: 1 Ohm

Can i get some reasoning as to why not?

its ghetto...its trashy.....it will lead to cancellation and sound weird....

im just putting that as info if a dual 4 ohm subs drops down to 2 how would a 4 ohm wired sub and a 8 ohm sub go down to 2 it wouldnt. you need another 4 ohm sub wire configuration. that was my point. each brand and specific model has different specs so not every sub would get the same amount of power. it would be uneven and could damage one of your subs thats getting more than needed. thats just our advise. you also asked us for info, take it as you wish but we dont suggest you doing that

This more or less

 

[agarabaghi 10+ year member]

how can they cancel if they are each in different location (this is in a boat) and in separate boxes...

1 will be in a compartment, 1 will be in a box in the front of the boat, and 1 will be under the drivers feet...

Can't say what RE/Sundown sound like but most people say because if you do, with how different certain specs. are with subwoofers it may sound like jumbled garbage

Why didn't you get 3 RE or 3 sundowns?

Yea some how my calculation was wrong. I ended up with 2.67 ohm load.

The sundown and RE can handle more than this setup would give them. Im currently running 1 SA10 on 1000watts and the RE SXx on 1336
