qcbangin Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 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.

qcbangin Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 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? 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.

baaudio Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Jl audio has a diagram on this. That's how i initially wired mine. But Sierra is correct.

CleanSierra Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 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.
