Wiring Question?

[McBuzzd]

I have two 12's that are dual voice coils 6 ohm sub woofers that are wired to a final 3 ohm final impedance and have their own separate box. My question is how do i wire it so that they stay to a 3 ohm load. The subs are in their own box i just have one connected right now but i want to connect both Thanks

you cant

you can only wire the two of them to a final impedance of 1.5 or 6 ohms

yeah u need a mono 1ohm stable amp or a big 2 channel bridged at 6ohm but u won't get all the power out of either amp, those subs are made to run 3 subs at 4ohm

^^^ this

A SoundQubed 1200 would work since it would only be seeing a 1.5 ohm load. They go for $270 and are pretty decent amps.

im assuming JLs with the weird impedance
