Impedance expertz quick question.

can I wire 3 subs to a .66ohm load.

with

1xDVC4ohms

and

2xDVC2ohms.

Also plz tell me if nonmatching ohm loads creates a problem and therefore 2 of the subs will encounter higher/lower wattage than the other. IDK

errrr nvm I figured something out, my amp is 2channel .5ohm stable on each channel i'm a moron I can just wire. 2 to one and 1 to the other...there will be a little imbalance though wonder if that is ok. the DVC 4ohm would recieve 700watts @2ohms per specs and the other 2 would each recieve 600watts per specs.

Is that acceptable or a problem?

what amp are you running?

i wouldnt unless their in separate boxes.

.5 a channel?

receiving unbalanced power will make the sound quality of your subs strange.

yeah I figured bad idea. Meh was worth a thought. MA Audio HK602sx

subs as well? i'll help you get this figured out.

No, you cannot run subs of different impedance from the same amp.

false. essentially he could run the D4 at 2 ohms, and then wire the two D2 @4 ohms down to two ohms, and give each channel 2 ohms. no problems on the amp side.

however the subs wouldnt be receiving equal power. you could adjust the gains if you had a clamp and ddm to get each sub the same amount of power, but its not worth the time and effort.

No, my statement was completely correct. I said that HE cannot do it, I didn't say it wasn't physically possible.

yes he could. just because he doesnt know how right now, doesnt mean he cant learn. if none of us didnt experiment, and tinker, we would all know nothing....

LOL thx Dirtrider for standing up for me? I know what I'm doing well enough when it comes down to hardware, but software errr ohms/volts/amps not my strong suite I need a lil splaining before I get it fully. I got the basics just this would be more complicated then I know right now. I have filed this under the bad idea category though. Wish I woulda set my gains with a DMM upon install. I blew one of my subs which the other day with no bassboost,eq flat, non-fader/subwoofer output at -3db off 50% gain on my amp. I never heard any distortion but it must have been there, noway I blew type r's off 700watts rms unless I was clipping hardcore....and clipping on 50% gain is sad. Oh well be at half bass for a while I guess.

well your amp is actually pretty powerful. the subs might of not been able to take the power. if you were running the amp in 1 channel per each sub, each sub at 1 ohm would be getting twice its rated power, and type rs cant do that. lol

na they were running at 2ohms 700 watts
