which way would be better for my setup.

ok i got 3 10" L7 D4s(the silver 2004 models i belive) running off a Hifonics 1605D at 2ohm right now and since i cant wire them to a .67ohm load im wondering if i wire just 2 of them to a 1ohm load and keep the third one in there as a filler for the hole will the 2 take the power from the amp?

the rating says 1600rms at 1ohm but alot of people have been telling me its over rated so im guessing it puts out about 1300-1400rms at 1ohm if that, so each sub would be getting about 650-700rms will they handle it without messing them up?

yea wats that amp do at 2ohms i recall 1100 so just say 900 watts

with more cone area prob will be louder not sure though

yea but with the 3rd one in there it will still be flexing and moving air i would think it should still be louder because there getting ALOT more power than just 300rms each you know

no.....you ould possibly blow the other 2 subs if you do this

 

[king ranch 5,000+ posts]

no i dont think so bc you have 3 subs getting 900 watts compared to 2 subs getting 1200 watts

you will have more cone area the sub not getting powered wont move any air it wont put out nothing

plus the airpsace will be different for the two compared to having 3 of them in the box being powred

ok so is there a chance of blowing the subs or no?

i guess if u re-set the gains then no.....but your air space is gunna be off

you will basically be running an improperly designed passive radiator system. build yourself a new box for just the 2 subs. make sure you use a dmm to set your gains so you don't overpower your subs.

they will bottom out very easily

 

[king ranch 5,000+ posts]

yep and you wont be any louder if any at all wont be able to tell

its just a dumb idea
