//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gifi have 2 svc 4ohm speakers and 2 dvc 4 ohm speakers. is there anyway in any combination to hook them all up to get a 2 ohm load?? i have been looking everywhere

no.

you dont want to do that, the two dvc subs will be twice as much power, it'll f everything up

Unless he wired them to 8 ohms they they would get half the power.

im not saying this would work im more asking a question here but,

couldnt he wire them up as if he had 3 DVC subs since hes got 6 VC in all like this?

Like was said, the DVC subs will each see twice the power the SVC subs see.

you can get a 2.67 ohm load...the svc's will see more power than the DVC's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

wrong, they will see less power.

right, ...... the DVC's will have to be stepped up to 8 ohms each...the svc' will still be 4 ohms each before stepped upto 8 ohms...then all wired down to 2.67 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

well how do i go about doing that i have an alpine mrp-850 its not bad 5oowat 4ohm and 800 wat 2 ohm, if i stepped them up to 8 ohm and wired all down to 2.... will it work correctly? and how do i step it up and wire it

I see imminent and catastrophic failure in your very near future

I havent got the chance to say this before, but fail. - that seems to be the lingo around here for someone acting like a dumbass.

Are these by chance 2 diff models of subs? Im sure there is a way to make them work, in theory they would, but i doubt it would sound right at all. If you take the 2 dvc subs and wire the vcs in series, then in parrallel to the amp,and wire the 2 SVC subs in parrallel i think theyd all get about equal power (the 2.67 ohm load you guys mentioned) but it just doesnt seem right. Plus youd be getting about 500rms to 4 subs = fail again. Take the 2 svc subs and wire them down to 2 ohms and use those, i dont think that amp is 1 ohm stable. Or put one of the dvc subs on that amp, and buy another 850 and put the other dvc on it, those are your choices

wrong, they will see less power.

When wired in series, the higher impedance will see the most power. When wired in parallel, the lowest impedance will see the most power. If the lowest impedance always had the most power dissipated, our wires would be cooking up now wouldn't they? Why don't they? Because they're wired in series to the subs and the small resistance of the wire doesn't take much power and so it doesn't heat up.

P = R*I^2

P = (V^2)/R

When in series, the current is equal across all loads. When in parallel, the voltage is equal across all loads.

Either way, the thread starter should not try to hook all these random subs up in the same vehicle.
