Wiring 1ohm dvc in paraillel

[Vi sound]

Ok here is my question .

i have my amps (AB400.1) strap but how do I wire my sub in paraillel to drop my ohms to 0.5 ?

positive to positive and negative to negative

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.

Ok so can i do that from outside the subwoofer box or do i have to do it from inside the box ?

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 ?

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.

its .5ohm but because two amps are strapped together each amp sees .25ohm.
