wiring question

[nourkah 10+ year member]

I have a dual 2 ohm 15" XXX and a US Amps De1000 running it at 1 ohm.

I want to get another De1000 to hook up to it but can't think of a way to get the max wattage out of both of them. How can I wire two of them up to the sub and get the max power.

wouldn't you series the coils to each amp? (neg from 1 vc and pos from other vc to one amp and same for the other?) or just hook each vc to it's own amp..

The reason you can't think of a way is because there is no way w/ one dual 2 ohm sub. I'm assuming the amp is 1 ohm stable? If you're going to add the amp you might as well add the additional sub. The best you can do is to run each amp @ 2 ohms. But I doubt very seriously you will see any gains out of it, but your amps would appreciate the lighter load.

aside from not being able to do so, the amps would have to be strappable... if they are then strap them to a 1ohm load.

Putting each one to a vc would only give me 500 per vc which is what i'm getting now with the 1000w load to the whole sub at 1 ohm. I have no room for another sub. The amp is at 1 ohm and is 1000w rms. 2 ohm dvc subwoofer.

flakko: are these stable lower than 1 ohm? that would be magnificent....
