I am running 4 dual 4ohm 1242D alpine typeR subs, I am wanting my ohm load at 1ohm, is this possible?

what would be my best option running them on a orion 2500d? and how exactly would i wire it to get .5ohm?

paralell the whole way for .5

i am kinda lost on the whole series/paralell thing, how would that be wired?

dude wire all the + together and all the - together for a .5 ohm load

The orion can handle it if your electrical can

closest you can get is 3 of the subs in series (8 ohms) and one in parallel (2 ohms)
Put all those in parallel for 1.14ohms

Uh-uh man. While you would get the right load on the amp, and the right power, it would be unevenly distributed across the subs.

Bad JuJu.

Exactly.... the three 8-ohm subs would get almost no power, and the 2 ohm sub would get a shiteload of power.

Don't do this.

Yup ... looking back that was terrible. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
