ohms question

[mrwigglezdj 10+ year member]

ok i hate asking but i want to get the most out of my amps, and ive gotn myself completly confused as of rite now .....i have a box i built for 3 10s because my amp is 2ohm mono class d and my subs are dual 4's so i can get 2.67 ohms out of them per fosgates site... is there any other way i can wire up the 3 subs to get a ohm load closer to 2 ohm? give or take a few points...i tried a drawn pic and i got lost

i got 8ohm 2 ohm and 2 ohm on the subs but i dont know if i need to do pos (8ohm) to pos (one 2ohm) to neg (one 2 ohm) to get a close 2 ohm load

if that is correct i would love to have it verifyed lol) i would use my multi meeter but its messed up its reading 6.2ohm to 9 ohm (moven back and fourth and dropin lower on one coil but on all of my subs so i must of droped it or something)

thats what i was thinking , to play it safe , i dont like the mixing ohms up to get somewhere lol it just dont feel rite

coils in series/ subs in parallel will get you to 2.66 before impedance rise.

You do not want to do that.
