[Series & Parallel wiring question]

so you're doing this build for your friend? just tell him there aren't any other options unless he wants to get more power and do it properly

nah...this is my set up but i'm using his amp. Just going to have to buy 4 ohm dual voice coil subs and get 2 amps.

[Series & Parallel wiring question]

Let's say your amp does 3000 watts at .57 ohms.

The 3 subs wired the same would get 425 watts each, while the single sub would get 1725.

I see what you mean....this will NOT work then since all 4 subs are in a single enclosure (1 chamber) ported. ;( i guess there is no other option other than save up and buy new crap.

Don't ruin an amp to try something that won't work as you can sell it to recoup some of the money spent on a new one.

Little secret....it's my friends amp. LOL so I can't sell it.

[Series & Parallel wiring question]

If you wire it the way you are describing, the single sub will not be powered the same as the other three (that single sub would get more power than the other 3 combined!).

Wire it as you have it (which should be as Kranny posted).

If you want more power, buy a different amp.

you just made me think. Think I should have mentioned this but i actually have 2 subs that are 1000RMS and the other 2 are 700 RMS. So is it possible to connect several subs to 1 channel and give subs different power??? If the answer is yes, how do you recommend i connect it right now??

[Series & Parallel wiring question]

Buy a bigger amp.

You buying??? LOL j/k

yeah i know but don't have the cash right now.

[Series & Parallel wiring question]

Thanks Kranny. yeah, that's exactly how i currently have it wired up. what would happen if I tried it??? Just want the most of my setup before I change. If its possible but will eventually damage my amp and/or subs...i'll go for it.

Let me know.

[Series & Parallel wiring question]

I currently have 4 dual 2 Ohm voice coil subwoofers wired down to 1 ohm to a single amp. Since the RMS rating of the amp if 2600 watts, i'm guessing i'm getting 650 watts per sub.

Is it possible to wire 3 subs in series/parallel down to 1.33 Ohms and add the 4th sub wired in parallel at 1 Ohm to a single amp channel?

First of....will that even work and second, if it does will it give me est. 0.65 ohms???? I know its not safe load to run the amp at but i am power hungry and want to squeeze all the power i can get. If i toast the amp so be it....more of a reason to get 2 new amps. Just don't want to burn my truck.

thanks in advance for any help and support!
