2 ohm dvc = 1 ohm / 4ohm

4 ohm dvc = 2 ohm /8 ohm

4 ohms and 1 ohm

2 ohm dvc = 1 ohm / 4ohm
4 ohm dvc = 2 ohm /8 ohm

1 ohm or 4 ohm

4 ohms and 1 ohm

kinda what I thought. so for a 4 ohm load you would wire the subs in series to bring them to an 8 ohm load and then run them parallel to the amp to bring it down to 4 ohm. And for a 1 ohm load you would run the subs parallel to bring them to a 2 ohm load then run them both parallel to the amp to bring it down to a 1 ohm load. do I have all that right?????

and if you had 2 single voice coil 3 ohm subs (w7's) what are your ohm options then??

thanks

see my post above for wiring

2 svc 3 ohm subs = 1.5 ohms or 6 ohms
