I have two DC Audio Level 2 12"s on a 1.2k. I wired them to SonicElectronix and Crutchfield wiring diagrams and both came out to ~1.8 ohm instead of 1. How big of a difference would it be if I left it as it is?
So you're closer to 2 final then. Your amp will see closer to 2.Each is about 4.4 ohm
Add another 12 and it will get you closer, just can go under 1......How can I get it to 1 then? Amp says that it's only putting out 700 at 2 ohm
Amp is a DC 1.2k. The dmm also works, I have a couple of them. I've also wired everything so that all I need to do is put the top on the box and call it finished. But when I play music (setting gains) the subs barely play. I tested the terminals where the speaker wire go and it's hitting 20 ohms.Add another 12 and it will get you closer, just can go under 1......What amp you running? I also wonder if your dmm is calibrated. Do you have access to another one for testing?
How did you set the gains? Should be around 37-38v ac.Amp is a DC 1.2k. The dmm also works, I have a couple of them.

With the right gain setting you should have no more than 35v ac to the subs@ 1 ohmOk I touched the leads together on the dmm again and it read about .8, so disregarding everything the ohm load is now somewhere around 1. But when I start playing music, it shoots up to ~25 ohms and just fluctuates. Is that normal?
I used this - How to Tune and Adjust Amplifier Gains and Bass Boost - Knowledge Base - to set them.How did you set the gains? Should be around 37-38v ac.
