TheyDontWantMusic Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 if you have a 1ohm DVC sub, wire it in parallel, and run it off two strapped amps, each amp will be running at 0.25ohm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so can i do that from outside the subwoofer box or do i have to do it from inside the box ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok this is how my friend had it run he strap the amps and then he took the + from each side of the sub and run it to the master + and the - from each side of the sub and run it to the slave + . at what ohms did he run the sub at ?

Ok so can i do that from outside the subwoofer box or do i have to do it from inside the box ? it doesnt matter. do you ave any idea how risky it will be to run at such a low impedance? and how much more electrical it will take? and if the amps fry it will be your fault, cant get mad at the manufacturer.
