[QUOTE="wolfey, post: 63012, member: 544404"] Ok well i dont know how your system came out but i know one thing for a fact... Wiring in series is not recommended for car subwoofers.. I have done it before by accident and it sounded like crap.. Not only did the subs have no power they were acting all weird and sounded funny. You CAN however, wire dual voice coil subwoofers individually in series, and that works fine, but wiring multiple subs in series has bad effects because of an amplifiers damping factor.. If you read just about any car amplifier manual or manuals for wiring car subwoofers, you will see this.. with other applications such as guitar amplifiers and things i've heard that its more popular to wire in series.. but in car audio its not recommended.. certain amps/subs may sound fine but others won't.. And having different subs wired at ohms does have an effect, the ones wired at lower ohms will see more power from the amplifier and will be pushed harder.. it may still sound fine yes, but you will surely have to have a box with separate chambers so that they dont cancel each other out..
