Wireing 3 subs together with twin 1.5 coils each..How?

[iwearpro 10+ year member]

Ok Im trying to get as close to a 2ohm load as possible..I have two Sundown 3000's that I want to strap to 3 10" dd's with twin 1.5 coils each... How should I plan on the wiring?

there you can see.

if you wire four of the voice coils in series and two of them in parallel then I think you would get 2.25 ohms.

but dakota then you have subs getting different power...

Yea I found a handy calculator.. If I wire two in series to make a 6 ohm load and the remainding 1 in series then parallel the first set of two with the remainder it will give me a 2 ohm load..

Sorry about that guys,I should have googled it first..

you shouldnt really wire like that....it will end up feeding one sub more than the other 2...

each woofer with coils in parallel gives 0.75 Ohm. 3 of these in series gives 2.25 Ohm

no that is not true.... how do you think people that have walls of 10 subs run 3 amps?
