ohms?

hey there.. i have a hifonics bx605..its 600 rms at 1 ohm mono..although u can hook up 2 speakers to it. if i hook up 2 dvc 4 ohm subs down into 2 ohms each, what would that push to them rms? 300 each?

uhhh at 2 ohms i thot they ran at 300 so that would be like 150 a piece... why would u want to wire it to 2 ohms and get half of ure amps potential...

well thats what i'm wondering..is it possible to wire them up down to 1 ohm, which would give them 300 rms a piece.. thus splitting the 600 between the 2..i need dual 4 ohm subs for this though right?

yes, the guy above misunderstood your post. if you have 2 dvc 4 ohm subs wired down to 2 ohms each, that would be a total of a 1 ohm load. it would look like this:

alright thanks man

ooo i thot u were trying to say that u wanted to wire they so the amp would see a 2 ohm load instead of a 1 ohm load....

one more ? for u guys..alright i've got the 2 dvc 4 ohm subs wired down in 2 ohms each..now they are in a dual sealed box, that each has their own terminal.. since they're wired in 2 ohms each, how do i run the wires to each terminal cup so that the amp sees just 2 speakers wires reading a 1 ohm load?

Wire the + from one output on the amp to the + of one of the terminal cups, negative from that same output to the negative of that same terminal cup. Same for the other channel and other enclosure.

Thats not possible.

thats not possible? how do i do it then? i'm trying to figure out whether i need dvc 4 ohm or 2 ohm subs..there will be 2 of them, and want to push the 600 rms that my hifonics can push in 1 0hm.
