[QUOTE="bustaplz, post: 5942073, member: 567655"] I've got a new amp on the way, trying to decide how to wire my subs. The amp is rated for 150x4@4 300x4@2 600x2@4. I'll be using two channels for my subs, they are 4ohm DVC. Right now I have them running at 600w@1ohm. I've searched around a bit and while there is quite a bit of disagreement on the subject of impedance in relation to SQ, I'm wondering if it would even make a difference if the amp is going to see a 2ohm load on each channel. I can wire the VCs in series for 8ohms on each driver and then wire them parallel for a final impedance of 4ohms. OR I can wire the VCs parallel for 2ohms each and then wire them series. Would the impedance of the drivers change anything with the amp seeing the same load? My common sense tells me both configurations would be the same, but I'm no expert on speaker design. Do the characteristics of a DVC speaker change purely based on the wiring of the coils? Also, just so I don't have to make another post. I plan on wiring 2 sets of speakers to the other two channels. What is the best way to do this, the simple thing to do would probably be just put both sets of speaker wires into the same terminals but is this the best way? [/QUOTE]
