why can't you wire subs 1ohm

Its kinda like asking why 2+2 doesnt equal 5. It just doesnt work. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

The MD2D will handle .5ohm daily on a decent electrical system. They arent warrantied down that low but they will do it.

I never ran mine at .5, but at 1 with 120amp alt and a yellow top in the trunk it was sufficient.

exactly

or i know i can figure out a way to make 1+1=1 using simple mathematics

Very very nice, although also very simple math.

You can wire 4 dual 4 Ohm 4 subs down to 4-1 Ohmicles if you have a big stash of posiquads. Only then can this feat be accomplished.

But seriously - I like the first reply, "coz"

You just like fucking with people don't you? lol

Yeah, I'm in a weird mood today. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

what if you were to wire it down to .5 ohms and add a .5 resistor in series before it goes back into the amp?

Smoke.

Smoke.

+1

Smoke. The resistor will soak up the extra power and go POOF!

Think of the two d4's as a one ohm circuit.

When you add another two d4's you have

another one ohm circuit. All you can do with two

1 ohm circuits is either wire them in parallel for

a .5 ohm or series or 2 ohms.

do you kow ohm's law?

srsly

Once you let out the magic smoke that makes components work it's very difficult to get that smoke back in.

Same with the Goooo in a cap, Very hard to stuff back in that can.
