[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 5548893, member: 540940"] You can wire any number of impedances for your amp depending on what type of voice coils your subs use. If you have ONE single voice coil sub obviously that is the impedance your amp will see. However if you have ONE dual voice coil sub (a dvc 4 for example) you can wire the coils in parallel for 2 ohms or in series for 8 ohms. Same principle if you have TWO single vc 4 ohm subs. Probably the most common way to get a 1 ohm impedance on a sub amp would be with a pair of dual 4 ohm voice coil subs. You wire the coils in parallel, making the subs 2 ohms each, then you wire the subs in parallel making the total load on the amp 1 ohm. It is done like this -- [IMG]http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard/2_4ohmDVC_1ohm.gif[/IMG] you can also wire for 1 ohm with ONE dvc 2 or two SVC 2's, 4 SVC 4's or dvc 2's. [/QUOTE]
