help! problems wiring 6 subs

[qcbangin]

not sure if i'm posting in the correct forum...i'm trying to wire 6 dual 4ohm 10's to a 1.33ohm load. wiring them in series/parallel...problem is i can't seem to get it right. i've followed 4 different diagrams and still can't get it right. i've got all the subs going, but it's reading 5.1ohm at the amp. what could my problem be? i've got my + to the amp coming off sub #1 and - coming from sub #4.

Youve got the wrong coils tied together. You need to have the postive from one coil to the negative on the other coil. Run the positives from 3 subs out and 3 negatives out. Do the same on the other three subs and when they meet the amp(if its a mono) they will have a 1.33 load. Each set of three will bring 2.67 ohms to the party.

I hated wiring 6 subs when i ran them

i'm using the wiring diagram from jl audio. have you seen that diagram? should i wire three and three, then they all meet at the amp?

Jl audio has a diagram on this. That's how i initially wired mine. But Sierra is correct. Series each woofer than parallel all remaining coils

I don't need to see the wiring diagram you're referring to. As simple as you can keep it in you head, is the best way to do it. That's why I suggest doing 3 and 3 so you can keep everything coherent while youre doing it. Try to go to the12volt.com or rockford fosgate's site and select 3 D4 for the option.

i appreciate the help. i'm going to try the rockford 3 d4 and see what happens.
