[QUOTE="Bigrick31, post: 908661, member: 553354"] here is the forumlas to figure out vc comfigs Parallel wiring=lower resistance Rt= (R1 X R2)/(R1 + R2) (note / means divide) RT= Total speaker resistance (or Ohms) R1= Resistance in speaker 1 (or Ohms) R2= Resistance in speaker 2 (or Ohms) example if you have 2 8 ohm subwoofers and want to wire them in parallel (8 X 8)/ (8 + 8) = 64/16 RT= 64/16 simplified RT= 4 so wired in parallel 2 8 ohm subs would yeild 4 ohms of resistance Series= Higher resistance RT= (R1 + R2) Example again with 2 8 ohm subwoofers RT=8+8 RT=16 if your using dual vc speakers you add the vc resistance of each sub together. example using 2 dvc 2 ohm speakers R1= 2+2 (each vc is 2 ohm) so R1=4 and the same for R2 then plug that into the formula [/QUOTE]
