OK....my buddy has purhcased Two 2 ohm DVC subwoofers....and his question is this...
On the wiring diagrams I have attached to this thread provided by Rockfordfosgate.com....if you look at the single Subwoofer it is wired at a 1 ohm load....then...you wire the speakers parallel in the same fashion to achieve a .5 ohm load as shown in the OTHER diagram....we both understand this...but he is wondering...if you look at the diagram for the TWO subwoofers and notice that they are wired in series...meaning one sub is wired to the other...then the other sub is wired to the amplifier ( this is speculation...it could just be a misunderstanding by him looking at the diagram wrong) but anyways...he is asking if you wire both subs seperately at 1 ohm load as shown in the single subwoofer diagram...could you ultimately run a dual 2 ohm voice coil set of subwoofers at a 1 ohm load? or is it only a 2 ohm or .5 ohm load? He is wondering if the dual sub diagram just portrays that they are wired in a series or he is looking at it wrong or what....but can you wire some other way to achieve the 1 ohm load for 2 dual 2 ohm voice coil subs?
