[QUOTE="Tehgregzor, post: 974998, member: 561089"] i was just thinking last nite about diff ways to wire my sub. My amp is 1 ohm stable. So...could i like wire up a 4ohm resistor the same way that i would another sub, and get the amp to see a 2ohm load, so my sub gets more power....adding on to that crackpot theory, could i wire up 3 more 4 ohm resitors as if they were subs, along with my 4ohm sub and get my amp to see a 1ohm load? Since they are just simply resistors, they wouldn't "take away" any power going to my one sub, right? So it would be all 1000 watts RMS @1 ohm going straight to my sub, right? It just seemed like an idea...[URL="http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard/4_4ohmSVC_1ohm.gif"]SVC wiring options[/URL] See how they have four 4ohm subs wired? Could i replace 3 of those with just 4 ohm resistors, so my amp sees a 1 ohm load? [/QUOTE]
