Wiring 3 subs....... HELP

[Jaredturp 10+ year member]

So here is the setup:

2 DD 1508's (S4)

1 10" Fi SSD (??)

1 2610d Hifonics Brutus

So I want to give the DD's 1300 to split and the SSD 1300

I wire the DD's in parallel so I have 2 ohms

Then I wire the SSD to 2 ohms as well

put the DD's and the SSD in parallel and that gives me 1 ohm

But do all subs recieve equal power?

Or do the DD's split 1300?

Thanks in advance,

Jared

dont dude

just dont you cannot mix sub sizes or types ever especially on 1 amp. each sub has dif specs and will take power dif than the others.

just don't

OP has been here since october. He should know better...

Sounds like the DD's would split the 1300 and the SSD would see 1300 alone. That's gonna offset the subs when flexing. Major phase problems are in the near future for you. Why not just sell the SSD 10", buy and 1508 and call it a day....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

It's not for me man.. A buddy really wants to do this in his truck... I suggested against it, but he is a stubborn guy, but i was interested in this power wise (which subs get what)

Tell your friend he's an idiot. Then sell that SSD 10" and buy 1 or 2 1508's. Will sound better and be louder than the previous idea.

wooooooooooo

no it doesnt whichever sub is the most efficient is gonna take most of the amps power way more than 1300

no. retarded idea. buy a dual 2 ohm sub that will take 2krms or 2 dual 4 ohm subs that will take 1k a piece. ( if im not mistaken that amp does "2600" 2K OR so @ 1ohm)

It's going in a truck man... the 1508's behind the seat and the SSD was to go in a box replacing the console.

two 1508s behind the seat, and one in the console - how's that boys?

as everyone has said. dont do it.

BRWRONG.

Efficiency is the ability of the subwoofer to convert input power to output sound with an amount lost due to heat/friction. Input power is dependent on the wiring.

Say all the woofers are wired to 4 ohms, and then all parallel to the amp. Each woofer is going to get exactly 1/3 of the power output of the amp. The amount of heat lost and sound output will be determined by the sub's efficiency.

they recommended against size and brand differential.... is having the same sub in a different enclosure problematic also?
