Is it possible to wire 12 dual 4 ohm subs to one monoblock amp and get a final impedance of 1 ohm or 2 ohms?? If so how would i do this?

+ from amp to + of voice coil 1 jump a wire to + of voice coil 2. Do the same for the -. This is parallel and will give you 2 ohm load. You can't wire one d4 to 1 ohm.

so i would wire all 12 in parellel?

Bahaha read that wrong. Thought it was 1 12" not 12 subs.

very possible, use Ω's law and do the math yourself

Break them into two groups of 6.

For each group --

Coils parallel for 2.

Each pair of subs parallel for 1. Now you have three 1 ohm loads.

Wire the three 1 ohm loads in series for 3, then wire each bank of 6 subs (3 ohms each) parallel for 1.5 total.
