[QUOTE="HypnotizeMinds, post: 366856, member: 551167"] How can 2-2ohm speakers be wired to 2ohms? well.. when you are dealing with more than one DVC subwoofer, more wiring options are available than just series or parallel, such as combinations of the two like series-series, series-parallel, parallel-series, and parallel-parallel. add another sub you are able to wire series-series-parallel...etc any other combo of the two. wiring 2 dual 4 ohm subwoofers together in series-parallel will present a 2ohm load to the amp. im assuming that Bumpin_Ack has wired series-parallel. about the .9 ohms, i dont know all the specs on that amp but my guess is that it is 2ohm stable? if that is true than there is no reason that the ohmage should drop so low if you have the subs wired like you think you do. my advice would be to double check your voice coil wiring because it sounds as if you have wired parallel-parallel by mistake. it happens. hope that helps u out.
