My system wiring

[BlackHaze- 10+ year member]

Alright well I have been having some problems with my subs, I hooked my 6 RE RE 12's to my friends amp, like 600 watts so it wasnt bad. I wired my subs with all the positives connecting to eachother, and all the negatives connecting to eachother, someone on the forums told me a certain style of wiring to do, I think i did it wrong because when I hooked it up to his amp only 1 sub was bumping ( the one connecting to the speaker terminal cup)

So, pretend that this wiring options includes 6 subs of RE RE 12 dual 4 ohm subs

My final question is :

Which wiring diagram with my subs will give me a final impendence of 1.333 ohms?

A)

or

B)

Thanks so much!

neither b will give you 4 and A will give you 0.333 with 6 x RE RE and arent they actually 3.2? if so them it would be .266

Actually nevermind, B is the diagram I need to go with according to JLs site,

Dual-6 Ohm Subwoofers: 2 Ohms

Dual-4 Ohm Subwoofers: 1.3 Ohms

Dual-2 Ohm Subwoofers: 0.7 Ohms

neither, I don't believe you can wire 6 DVC 4's to 1.33 ohms.

4-4 / 4-4 / 4-4 / 4-4 / 4-4 / 4-4 (6 dvc 4ohm coils)

series the coils on each woofer to get 8 ohms per sub

8 / 8 / 8 / 8 / 8 / 8 (6 dvc 4ohm coils, each subs coils wired in series)

start parrelleling the seprate woofers in pairs

4 / 4 / 4

parrallel the + and - again

do the math

1 divide by 4 + 1 dived by 4 + 1 divide by 4

.25 + .25 + .25

1 divided by total

1 divided by .75

Answer = 1.333333333........ohms
