Hi , I would like to know if it possible to wire 2 dual 4 ohm sub down to .5 ohm ? If yes , how ? Thanks

No, Ohm's law works like this.

Electrical resistance is measured in Ohm's

In a parallel circuit, resistance is lowered. This is measurable with a simple formula.

1/ (1/r1+ 1/r2+ 1/r3+ 1/r4) = Final ohm load

Your voice coils are the r, and you have 4 of them. so 4 4ohm coils in this formula are

1/ (1/4+ 1/4+ 1/4+ 1/4) = 1ohm

That is the lowest you can go with what you have.

Series circuits increase resistance.

The only way to get more power, in a safe manner is to get a larger amp that does more power at 1ohm.

To get a lower ohm load on that amp to 2 woofers, you need to use Dual 2ohm coil woofers.

But your increase in power will be very small compared to the increase in heat, distortion, and danger to equipment.

i still run them... at or above 1 ohm there awsome

you scruured? lol pussy

if i need more power i buy a bigger or but the same amp and have 2 i will not go below 1 ohm ever again

have had nothing go pop since then and that was years ago

Have you ever had your woofers blown?

so thats why you hate .5ohm

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.
