boostin302 Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 hey guys. when i went to pick up my subs, noticed the company made a mistake of sending me dual 1ohm subs instead of dual 2ohm subs. how do you wire up 2 dual 1ohm subs to a 2 ohm load. thanks Quote My build log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/143943-2001-mustang-gt-system-rebuild-box-build-pics-updated-61512/ 2001 Ford Mustang GT 4.6 SOHC 380HP 270 amp Mechman alt 2 12" Treo SSX custom built. 6.47 cu ft, tuned to 32Hz 2 hifonics Brutus 2400.1, strapped 1 optima yellow top 1 Kinetic HC1800 14.4v @ 29Hz, 2k RPM over 100ft 1/0 XS flex wire Big 3 in 1/0 100sq ft fatmat deadener 145.3 on music, 142.6 sealed on music Stop being a pussy and wall it off.

Zapanater Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 You can't Im afraid. Best you can do is either 1 ohm or 4 ohms. Send them back. Quote 2015 Subaru Outback. That is all, I refuse to touch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapanater Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 What kind of subs are they? The only way I can think of managing to pull a 2.2 ohm readinf is if they are about .6 ohms each. Which is very possible. Quote 2015 Subaru Outback. That is all, I refuse to touch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Lightning Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 yes, wiring the subs in series, then aprellel to each other will give a one ohm load to the amp ...

boostin302 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Yes there dual 1 ohm subs. I need a final load of 2 ohm to the amp. So 2 dual 1ohm subs to a 2 ohm load on one amp. The amps are strapped so they need a 2ohm load Quote My build log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/143943-2001-mustang-gt-system-rebuild-box-build-pics-updated-61512/ 2001 Ford Mustang GT 4.6 SOHC 380HP 270 amp Mechman alt 2 12" Treo SSX custom built. 6.47 cu ft, tuned to 32Hz 2 hifonics Brutus 2400.1, strapped 1 optima yellow top 1 Kinetic HC1800 14.4v @ 29Hz, 2k RPM over 100ft 1/0 XS flex wire Big 3 in 1/0 100sq ft fatmat deadener 145.3 on music, 142.6 sealed on music Stop being a pussy and wall it off.
