Triple sub wiring on a US Amps XT4000D

[ta2ed9783]

Hey guys, I have three 10" Alpine type R's and they are all dual 4ohm. I was wondering if anyone knew if I could wire them all to 2 ohms and run em parallel to .6 ohms on a US Amps xt4000d? Can this amp handle that load? If not, could I run two of them to 8 ohms and the other one to 2 ohms and run em parallel to get a 1.3 ohm load? would this send too much power to the sub wired at 2 ohms? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Really depends on your electrical. I would consider 2.67 ohm load

In comment to Garychoffmann, no, you cannot run the XT amps under 1 ohm. They will go into protect and get EXTREMELY hot if they don't. You can run 2 at 2ohms, wire them together to equal 1 ohm, and then series them to the other one at 2 ohms giving you a 1.3 to 1.6 ohm load. That's the best wiring configuration for that amp. The XT amps can't do what the traditionally made in the usa high end Us Amps could.

I hate wiring subs that way. some always seem to work harder than the others. I would consider going with just a pair, then buy another amp and sub to match then have 4 of them ******* in there.

well I just wired them all three in parallel outside of a box and put a d.m.m. on there and it read .8 ohms. So do you think with box rise I will be over 1ohm?

I mean, Ive been running this amp at 1ohm hard as a daily driver and its never even gotten warm. What about a Concept cc-d1200? Would it be a better candidate for three subs parallel?

not sure why the car appeared. This is the concept amp. It's pretty solid, just not sure off anyone had had experience at running one under 1 o hm
