How to wire 2 12" Type-Rs for lowest impedance

[endosj3 10+ year member]

I'm looking at buying 2 Type-Rs and I found a really good deal on the Infinity 1211a amp which will run 1300w x 1 @ 2 ohms....the only problem is that the subs are the 4 ohm DVC's. Would this set up work? I think if i ran them parallel it would equate to a 1 ohm load and I don't know if this amp is stable at 1 ohm....can somebody please give me a wiring diagram or something to help out?

thanks

All you are gonna be able to do (im in this situation myself) is either sell em, and get 2 omh ones, buy one more (2.67omhs) or two more (2ohms). Other than that, there isnt much i know of that you can do.

so if i ran them both at a 2 ohm load on their own 600watt rms amps it would work out well?

yes. As long as the amp does 600rms at 2ohms. or you can get a better than like a hifonics 1606 , wire it down to 1ohm.

How are you gonna wire two 4omh subs at 2 ohms?

thats how

just get a 1ohm amp,and let it beat.

yeah, thats what i would do also!

Your never gonna get a 2 ohm load to that amp with 2 dvc 4ohm subs. I have 2 dvc 4 ohm subs. They are wired separately at 2 ohms each but together they push a 4 ohm load on my amp. Either your gonna have to find an amp that has enough power at 4 ohms...or get another amp that can run a 1 ohm load. Thats your only options if you wanna keep those subs. If not get the dvc 2 ohm models and then you can wire them down to 2 ohm and your be fine.
