Wiring 9 Dual 4 Subs

[cwill5 10+ year member]

Quick Question I Have 9 Dual 4 Ohm Subs. I Know I Can Get A 2.67 Ohm Load Or A .5 Impedance Out Of A Set Of Three. However, I Would Like To Find Out The Final Impedance Of All 9!!!!

Are you wiring to a single amplifier?

Sorry, curiousity kills the cat, I reckon

Parallel Or Series Does Not Matter. The Most I Can Find Was 6 Dual 4 On Jl Audio's Site

You have three honest options - one amp, three amps, or 9 amps

Cant unevenly distribute power, you know

Edit for my stupidity - - Classify two amps strapped as going under "one" amp

No What I Am Trying To Do Is Debate If I Strap Two Amps And Wire All 9 Up To Them Or Would It Be Better To Use Three Sep Amps One For Every 3 Subs

What I Have Are The Powerbass Xa 4000d If I Strapped Them And Could Get The Final Impedance After Wiring All 9 Together To Work I Can Save On Electrical Stress

I Have Enough Amps To Put One On Every Three But Everybody That I Talk To Says That The 4000d Want Take A Half An Ohm Load So I Would Have To Wire Them To 2.67

I don't understand this. If you go one amp what is the final load you want to try and get?

.88 or .22 if you run all 9 on a single channel

Awesome Man That Is What I Needed To Know. I Am Wanting To Strap The Two 4000's And Run All 9 Subs Off Of Them. The Output Doubles From 4000 To At Least 8k, Depending On Voltage. I Know The Easier Route Would Be To Use Three Amps On All 9 Subs But I Will Lose Wattage Because Of The Final Ohm Load. Now I Need To Find Out If These Amps Can Run .88 Daily

should be, as most subs end up achieving a final impendance of less than 1 ohm anyway. I always see "4 ohm" vcs ending up reading 3.7-3.8 rather than 4 on the dot. Id go for it, .88 should be fine.

Or you could get the exact ohm load you need to the pair of amps.

All nine can be wired to a 2ohm load, and present the strapped pair a 2ohm load (which would be 1ohm each).

Thanks For The Help Just Have To Find Out If Those Amps Can Run .88 Strapped.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Powerbass Says The Lowest Recommended:d Ohm Load For The 4000's Strapped Is A 2 Ohm Load!

I would not run them .88 strapped... at all...
