What voice coil setup do I need to run 2 subs at 1 ohm off my Sundown?

[phatcat600 10+ year member]

the12volt says 2 dual 1s will run at .25 ohms or 4 ohms and 2 dual 2 ohms will run at .5 ohms or 2 ohms

So what VC config do I need? I really want some FIs but the BLs only come in D1 and D2, will I need to look elsewhere if I want to run 2 subs at 1 ohm?

I have the SAZ-1500 by the way

The Dual 1s. 2 Dual 1's will run at 1 ohm, 0.25 ohm or 4 ohm.

this is correct.

The Dual 1s. 2 Dual 1's will run at 1 ohm, 0.25 ohm or 4 ohm.

this is not, i'm sure. care to explain how to achieve this?

^^^ i am wrong here.....see below

2 D1's do wire to 1 ohm. Wire them in Series/Parallel. The same way that you would wire 2 D2's to a 2ohm load.

ok, i stand corrected. i was thinking single sub. you can get two d1's at 1ohm in series.

series parallel actually

wire each sub in series

take the 2 positives and 2 negatives ( 1 from each sub) and hook it up to the sundown ( positive to positive nega tive to negative ) and the amp will bridge, or parallel it for ya //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

there ya go

Exactly.

Ok it works because the sundown has 2 outputs?
