Three Subs Two Amps?

[etaks_crew]

so i was wondering about a hook up i want to do. in my jeep i hve two directed sxd4 12 in. subs in a ported box. i put the same set up in my girlfriends car. but ive gotten to the point where i want to put hers in m jeep as well. but i dont just want to take them from her i would like to relace them. the amps thats i put in her car are two alpine m650's i have a box that will fit 3 subs and i would like to put it inher car. i dont know what kinda of subs im going to use yet. but is it possible to hook up 3 subs to 2 amps and send equal power to all 3 subs?if so how?

Two one ohm stable amplifiers, three dual coil woofers. Three coils to one amp. If dual 4 ohm woofers, final load should be approximately around the 1 ohm area.

so are you saying hook up one voice coil from each sub to one amp and the other three to the other amp?

I have my three subs in a series parallel configuration to a single 1ohm connection then both my amps strapped @ 1ohm.

my first thought is...what kind of amps are in your car? same alpines? because you gotta make sure your amps can handle the load the extra subs are gonna put on them.

in my jeep i have two diirected D2400's so there fine. they make plenty of power. for my jeep i have a 2400 HC kinetik in the back i deff. need to upgrade on my alt. but i cant find any of these iraggi alts.. i went to www.iraggialtenators.com and it wasnt a legit site. i can hook that up my self thats easy. but how do i do two mono amps to three dual voice coil subs with out messing anything up?

easiest way is to buy another amp.

email iraggi and he will get back to you.

Are the two amps strappable? What is their lowest stable impedance? What is the coil configuration of your subs?

Here is a very helpful link.

derricks answer is the ONLY answer in your situation......if your amps are strappable, thats really the only way you can do it. The only PROPER way to do it i should say.

in case u dont understand strapping, that is when you take 2 amps and basicly make one big amp out of them....
