Subwoofer wiring question

[bhovseth 10+ year member]

I have a 1500x1 RMS Watts mono Amp. I have 3 speakers, 2 are single voice coil 4Ohm speakers, the other is a DVC 4Ohm speaker. If I wire them all in parallel I get a 1ohm load if I am not mistaken.

My question is this:

How many watts will the DVC speaker get? How many watts will each SVC speaker get?

In my head I figure the DVC speaker wired in parallel is 2 ohms so it should get twice the power right? So is my DVC speaker going to get 1000 Watts RMS and 250 Watts going to each SVC speaker? I am just not sure on the math regarding this wiring situation. Can anyboddy help me with the math here?

how do you like living in Phoenix? seriously... thinking about moving to AZ

as for your question, I think each coil will split the power. so the SVC subs will each be getting 25% of the RMS power and the DVC will be getting 50% of the power... so if it is a TRUE 1500 rms amp... 375 watts going to each SVC sub and 750 watts going to the DVC sub.

I like living in Phoenix for the most part, except for the 4 months out of the year when it is never under 100 degrees(even at night and morning). If you dont mind blazing heat you will love it here. Even if you dont like it there are 8 months out of the year where the weather is wonderful. The job market is not bad and now that the housing market crashed you can buy a home here for fairly cheap.

Thanks for answering my question, figured it was that or what I typed above. I honestly thought it would be more complicated than that but guess I over thought it.

I hear about home invasions being an almost daily thing, and kidnappings for ransom and drugs being a huge problem... I have a 3- year old so I am not trying to have someone take his *** and hold him for ransom. I am almost finished with the police academy and my degree in criminal justice as well would being an officer help or hurt me in that area?

I have lived here for 25 years and haven't noticed any of that stuff. Drugs might be a little worse here than other places being close to mexico but they are a problem in every major city. Crime here may be bad but I have never had anything crazy like that happen to me or any of my friends for that matter. There are good parts and bad parts to every big city, my advice would be live in the good parts.

FYI phoenix is talking about cutting 300 jobs in law enforcement to help with the deficit. Have a job lined up before you come here. If you have any other questions pm me.
