Wiring 4 ohm DVC subs in Seperate enclosures down to 1 ohm

[jjminch]

So I've checked the wiring guide and I think I have this down. However the separate enclosures I have for each sub is for some reason making me second guess myself.

I have two 4ohm DVC Sundown SD-2 subs. Each in a separate enclosure with its own cup terminal. I will be running them in 1 ohm configuration off a bridged Monoblock amp. Amp is a CT sounds 900.1.

This is how I wired each chamber. I kept all the positive and negatives linked http://www.the12volt.com/12voltimages/1_4ohm_dvc_2ohm.gif

Now from individual terminals I will run a regular +/- run to the amp. The wires from both subs will be joined at the amp terminal, this will then create a final independence of 1 ohm, correct?

Are you using the AT900.1D? That amp has 2 + and 2 neg, right? Just connect each sub to the amp as you described. Your amp will see it as a 1 ohm load, assuming you have it wired correctly. Use a DMM to be sure.

Yes that is the amp and it does have two sets of terminals. Which I always wondered why, being a monoblock. But i will use both terminals then and run a dedicated line to each enclosure. I tried using a DMM on it an I think my 4 dollar model is reading incorrectly. I tested just one VC and instead of 4 ohms, got 1.5 ohms.
