[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 3087976, member: 561023"] Actually - when taking into consideration the gear you're running it doesn't really matter providing that you have both subs set to the same resistance value. You're going to want to wire them to a 2 Ohm nominal load either way it goes so if you set the switches to 4 Ohm on both then you'll want to wire the two together in parallel like so: [IMG]http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard/2_4ohmSVC_2ohm.gif[/IMG] If you set the switches to 1 Ohm then you'll want to wire them in series like so (replace everywhere that it says 4 Ohms with 1 Ohm and replace the final value of 8 Ohms with 2 Ohms for your application): [IMG]http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard/2_4ohmSVC_8ohm.gif[/IMG] You're wrong and should know a bit more about the topic at hand before you go tell someone information that isn't true - especially about products they already own! The new Infinities do exactly as was described in the opening post. There is a switch located on the side of the sub that allows the user to choose between a 1 Ohm load or a 4 Ohm load (I'm assuming Dual 2 Ohm coils wired to said switch in some manner that allows the simple flipping of this switch to swap between parallel and series wiring) See above ~ Two 1 Ohm loads then wired in series produces a nominal 2 Ohm load. That being said why shouldn't he set his subs to 1 Ohm? It really doesn't matter either way as the final result is/should be the same. Two 1 Ohm loads wired in series or two 4 Ohm loads wired in parallel....end result is the same.
