Ohms

I'll say it again. The different size subs are none of my concern, so get over it. Nor am I concerned about what you think is ghetto or not.

Get a clue people. The SPL of my setup was higher with 15" and two 10" together than it is with either one 15" or two 10"s by themselves.. In fact, a friend of mine with six 10" subs stated it hit way harder than his even. Probably because of a lack of raw power, but still. You can't assume subs of different sizes always cancel each other out. I've proved that to myself and others in my town as well.

If you had it hooked up before and it ''hit harder than anyone else's'' then why can you not wire it how you previously had it?
You are a moron.

I am asking is my new setup is correct because my amp has a bad capacitor in it and I don't know if my previous installation had caused it smart ***.

1 dual 4-ohm sub in parallel = 2 ohm2 each dual 2-ohm in series, then parallel the result = 2 ohm

sounds good. its best not to wire dissimilar loads in series*, so make sure the 2 10" woofers are both in the same type of box. likewise it would be a bad idea to wire the 15" in series with the 10"s.

and yes, the install has the "ghetto" appeal. not that it can't work. assuming you use sealed boxes and subs combos that can give approximately equal output, you can end up louder. ported boxes might not lend as well to this use, but sealed is probably a safe bet.

*as you might know, speakers have a different impedance based upon frequency. for similar speakers, things are similar... but for dissimilar speakers, one woofer might have a high impedance at one frequency and effectively stop the other woofer from moving. same with wiring speakers in different box types in series. will it still work? kinda, but its just best not to do!
