would my system be louder if......

sag3 slow your roll

either it was edited, which i'm hoping it was, or i completely missed it, my bad there

If you want to be safe about things, wire your subs for a 2ohm load on your amplifier, which would be in a series(I think? someone check me)

 
youre supposed to hook both of the voicecoils on the subs. wire each pair of subs to one ohm and parallel the pairs to half an ohm and you should be close enough to one ohm with the box rise.

if you missed that too.

 
*applauds*

So you know more than I doa bout it

If you've been around, and you saw this, WHY didnt you just say that, instead of antagonizing me about being ignorant?

Also - I like the signature, you need to add "to" "two" and "too" on there as well, because people eff those up as often, it seems

 
(series/parallel) = 2 ohm load

Voice coils wired in series, speakers wired in parallel

Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 2 or 1 ohm mono

now what amp and subs do you have? if it's a 1ohm stable amp you're basically wasting half it's power due to the voice coil configuration of the subs you bought.

 
OK everybody thanks for your help.I thought I had all the info listed that would be needed to figure this out when i posted it.However I had not been to sleep for about 28 hrs so when everyone started asking questions that I thought I had in the post I said to hell with it and went to bed.Any way since i already screwed this up once can anyone show me a picture of how to do this like sag3 is talking about.I dont really want to run it @2ohms if I dont have to.
