[QUOTE="Leeiswho2b, post: 1481587, member: 566054"] Well, I have dual 6 ohm voice coils. The installer said he wired it parallel down to 1 ohm, but couldn't say for sure. Although I really wouldn't think it'd make much of a difference b/c the PG Xenon amp is rated to put out 1200 watts rms in all loads between 1 & 4 ohms. Seems like they are all in phase, all 3 move at the same time in same direction and are separated in the enclosure. I think I may try using a different designed enclosure, but not sure which design would be best for my particular application. I haven't tried to measue for resonant freq yet. But would imagine that a ported box for 3 12's would be extremely large. Suggestions?
