ohm question!!

IF YOU have a one ohm load and bridge a two ohm load into it what would it be!

would it average out to like 1.5 not sure how that would work any suggestions!

im not sure how you would bridge a 2 ohm load into a 1 ohm load. WTF are you talking about?

4 dvc subs wired to one ohm then one more dvc wired to 2 ohm bridged together one a monoblock amp

All hooked up to the same amp?

yes

so 5 dvc 4 ohm subs?

4 dvc2 ohm and one dvc4 ohm the four is gonna be wired to one ohm then the one dvc2 is gonna be wired to two ohm and all put on the same amp what would the ohm load be

do NOT do this. Mixing voice coil impedances will only result in uneven power distribution.

This is not a good idea like ultimate157 said. Also, there is no such thing as "bridging" two different loads. There is series wiring and parallel wiring only.

you know what i meant

No, I didn't. When you say "bridge" I don't know if that means series or parallel and they are COMPLETELY different methods with different final loads.

oh ok sorry my friend wanted to know

And the answer is "don't do it".

As mentioned, the power would not be distributed equally between the subwoofers.

Check out the12volt.com It shows wiring options and OHM loads and how they change with your wiring setup.
