noob question on sub wiring

[teardrop]

ok so how do you wire 5 2 or 4 ohm dvc subs to a 1 ohm or 2 ohm load i know that all your subs need to be the same ohm voice coils but should i use all 4 ohm dvc or all 2 ohm dvc to get a 1 ohm load or a two ohm load two run on 1 single amp or 2 straped amps

To 1.6 ohm DVC 4 ohm coils in series and all subs in parallel. If that's any help.

[john253a]

series sub parallel amp 5x 4dvc

(8*8 )/(8+8 )=4

(4*8 )/(4+8 )=2.666

(2.666*8 )/(2.66+8 )=2

(2*8 )/(2+8 )=1.66

6 subs would be

(1.6*8 )/(1.6+8 )=1.333

any reason why you are choosing 5 subs, instead of 4 or 6

even numbers give you more wiring choices

so 5 4 ohm subs would be 1.6 ohm final load would that be ok on two amps strapped or better on a single amp

Definitely strapped if possible (strapped sundowns will laugh at 1.6 ohm + box rise), as long as you don't get overheating

i wouldn't worry. Make sure that your electrical can keep up.
