[QUOTE="roots7, post: 90524, member: 544801"] OK I have obviously been misunderstood. Moocow.. I dont know what you are talking about.. Wiring subs in series doesnt double anything. When I say wire the 2 ohm dvc subs in series, i mean each individual sub in series. Then you wire each of those 4 total ohm subs (2 +2 = 4) in parallel. That would give you a 1.33 ohm total resistance. For parallel: 1/R1 + 1/R2 +... 1/ Rn = 1/Rtotal: 1/4 +1/4 + 1/4 = 1/ R 3/4 = 1/R R = 4/3 = 1.33 For series: R1 + R2 + ..Rn = Rtotal. Please only help with resistances if you know how to use these formulas.. otherwise you might **** up someones subs. If they were 4 ohm dvc's, you would get 2.667 or .667 which doesnt help at all. If they were 4 ohm svc's you get 1.33. So either you get 3 2 ohm dvc's or 3 4 ohm svc's. There arent any better alternatives. (except getting 3 8 ohm dvcs, which would also give you 1.33) Basically, tell me what the impedances of your subs are, and if they are 4 ohm svc's, 2 ohm dvcs, or 8 ohm dvcs, I will tell you how to get 1.33. Otherwise, get different impedance subs. [/QUOTE]
