Will wiring 2 subwoofers with different impedances make one get less power?

Most likely get uneven power as it has less resitance than the other sub/subs

Just my MO

I did this just to see what happens and yes the lower impedance sub gets more power. I would not personally run two different impedances.

deff not a good idea one sub will get 2x the power the other

The sub with the lower impedance will get the majority of the power.

deff not a good idea one sub will get 2x the power the other

Not to mentioned if these woofers are all in a common chamber.. Then you have serious problems a head.

so you can basically think about it like this (if all wiring is parallel).. since you have one woofer at 1ohm and the other woofer at 2ohms, the 1ohm woofer (d2) will see 66% of the total amplifier power and the 2ohm woofer (d4) will see 33% due to common current division.

There are simple circuits equations that calculate your exact(ish) power division for any coil configuration but I would have to explain equivalent resistances, then power calculations, then current division, which I could do if need be. I'm not gonna type it up if nobody cares though. Lolz

I better go take them out before something bad happens. Lol.so once I have the other d4 and wire them to 1ohm there will be a slight increase in loudness?

I would imagine, but stranger things have happened lol

probably a dramatic increase if they're in a shared chamber. Since the d2 woofer is seeing twice the power that the other is seeing, it is moving probably close to twice as far from peak to peak. The d4 woofer is just kinda flappin around in there on that lower power and sort of "getting in the way" of the d1. I'm sure there is a fair amount of cancellation going on there.

You should see an increase when it is all correct then.
