[QUOTE="Unregistered, post: 9576"] I have a DVC sub (I got it by mistake and cannot return it). I want to connect it to my Punch 360.2 amp. I have asked questions on here about it before. I have asked Rockford and the tech says that I should not wire the DVC in parallel as it would be giving the amp a 2ohm load.... and the amp would probably overheat. What I was wondering if there is any way I can wire another 2ohm load in the circuit (in series) without shelling out more money for another sub. This is why I was wondering if someone's dead DVC speaker could act as another 2ohm load to bring my total impedence to 4ohms again (2ohm + 2ohm wired in series = 4ohms = something my amp can handle = happy me [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] ).... does this make sense? If you say a resistor would work... where would I get something that could handle that kind of voltage and wattage? If there is a better way of doing this let me know... OH, and I don't have the money to sell my stuff and buy new stuff... nor do I have the patience b/c I have been in the process of outfitting my car for a while now and I want to just get it done.
