Wiring a single dual .5 ohm sub

[Jhensley209]

I have a sub that is dual .5 ohms. Can i run each coil seperately to the amp and if so what ohm load would it give me?

That would be wired in parallel at .25ohms, which is not recommended. Instead wire it in parallel, which would put you at 1 ohm (which on most amps is the lowest recommended impedance). Here is how to wire a single sub in parallel (ignore the ohms in the picture)

If your only running that one sub, best bet is to wire in series for 1 ohm load and get a 1 ohm stable amp that will put out the RMS your sub can handle

I.E. sub is rated 1000 watts RMS then get an amp thats 1000 watts RMS at 1 ohm

You mean series

Series = 2ohm

series/parallel = .5ohm

Parallel = .125ohm.
