subs and wiring question

[bvr_j_0969 10+ year member]

ok ive decided 2 10" re se's need to much air space for me to be able to port them so ive decided to go with the RE 8's

my questions are

1. could you wire 6 re 8's to 1 ohm?

if so

which would be better/ louder if you can determine that

4 re 8's ported

6 re 8's sealed?

so i found out you can wire them to either

1.3 ohms or

.33 ohms

would the 1.3 ohms be compatible with my hifonics bx1000d?

Is that amp 1ohm stable?

 

[bvr_j_0969 10+ year member]

yes the amp is 1 ohm stable

but the subs are actually 3.2 ohm dvc but called 4 ohm?

what if when wired down it come out lower then 1 ohm?

can anyone do the math on that i dont know how

Shouldnt they do that to combat imped. and box rise...soo it actually might be a lil higher than 1.3ohm u should be fine.

i was hoping to get it at 1 ohm not actually higher because at 1 ohm i will be like 12 watts rms under powered on each voice coil, with it wired at like 1.3 ohms i think i might be getting around maybe 7-800 rms?

Well u might could try it at .33 and the rise might be high enough to get around 1ohm...just test it out with a DMM

DMM? digital multi meter? i have an old analog one lol would that work?
