Wiring Subs @ 1 ohm help

[rumdada 10+ year member]

Ok i have a sealed enclosure This exact one Fierce Audio - 10" Dual Sealed Flat Pack Subwoofer Enclosure - FPS210.1

I am planning on putting 2 500w rms subs in it my problem is my am will do 900w x 1 @ 1ohm but i cant wire them inside the box unless i put holes in my box will that mess up the sound or is there anyway to wire them into their own seprate terminals and get them to 1 ohm btw my subs are going to be RD sonace 10' dvc 4ohms subs

Wire the subs up separately to each cup terminal like you normally would then on the outside of the box you can just run them how you need too using those.

Ok i sound like a new but right now i got 2 infinity refrence 10' these ones right here hooked up Amazon.com: Infinity Reference 1050w 10-Inch Subwoofer (Silver/Black): Electronics

and it had 2 connectors but it says it isnt dvc i have them hooked up to a 1 ohm load i guess...... both the negatives hooked up and both the positves on both woofers and connected them sepratly to my box then i wired the 2 subs together from the out side what ohm load am i giving to these subs im confussed????????

So are they dvc subs or not? Those are not, so if those are what you have your wiring options are 2 ohm or 8 ohm loads.

my infinity's apparently are not but they have to connectors ......... my RDs comming in are

DVC subs should have 4 connectors, two for each voice coil. both the negatives and both the positives, meaning the neg and pos on each sub?

Thats not always the case though. I had a DVC audiobahn that had 2 positive and 2 negatives per voice coil.

Look ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ im really confussed right now :-/

Interesting I did not know that. I suppose then I should have said a minimum of 4 connectors per sub.

rumdada that is a pic of DVC sub unless for some reason they decided to give a SVC four terminals on opposite sides //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif. That link must not be to the right sub. If they are D4s, then each is wired to 2 ohms if you've done pos-pos and neg-neg on each, and if you've wired both in parallel to each other they will be at 1 ohm.

If they are D2s they will be at 1 ohm each, and 0.5 in parallel with each other. Check the final resistance that amp sees with a multimeter. connect the leads to the speaker wire going to your amp (disconnected)

Those are dvc subs. See here Infinity Reference 1052W Component Car Subwoofers at Onlinecarstereo.com

Ok then well either im Grossly over powering these my amp is 900w at 1 ohm Or my amp isnt giving me that output.............. and yea i have a pair of audiobahns with 8 terminals
