[QUOTE="01 S 10, post: 5794743, member: 584353"] option 2 i dont like to parallel first and series second because if a sub or subs were to fail, you would lower your ohm load in some situations, possibly causing damage to your amp or overpowering the rest of the subs. say you have 2 DVC 2 ohm subs, and you parallel each sub down to 1 ohm each. then series the subs together up to a 2 ohm final load and your amp is 2 ohm stable. so if one of those subs goes out, your now running the amp at 1 ohm possibly causing damage to it or overpowering the other sub. series first, parallel last [/QUOTE]
