Twistedmister Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 I'm curious how close to 1 ohm I can get with 12dvc d4s. Straight parallel I get. Straight series I get. But when I start mixing the two I get confused. If I parallel the first two all the way I end at 1 ohm. If I add a third, parallel to itself but then series to the other 2, does that put me at 1.25 ohms? Is there a formula that can be used for mixing and matching series and parallel? I read somewhere that the last sub that's in series would see less power. Is this true or would they still split it evenly. Thanks in advance for the help.

Twistedmister Posted August 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Ok. Thanks. I guess those are really the only two ways to do it. I was thinking running the third woofer parallel to itself but series off the other two woofers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Those are the only ways to do it. If you tried what you were thinking, you'd end up with unequal distribution of power. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedmister Posted August 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 That's what I figured. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mothra Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 each sub would have a single resistance of 8 ohms then divide that by 3 not 6. just wire it down to .67, your amp should be able to handle that if it's a 1 ohm stable amp. if nothing changes, nothing changes You don't know what you don't know, till you don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron36 Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 U better have a HO Alternator and batteries at .6 cause your electrical is gonna take a pounding and if it can’t handle it your amp will probably blow. 2022 Ford Maverick on 22’s Skar SK1500.1 on 4 Skar VD-8’s Mids Sundown Super tweeters, Skar TX 6.5 components on Skar SKM400.4 LC2 for audio control , XS Power D680 XS Series Extra Battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. I have a 250 and an extra battery. I'd probably go with the 2 ohm load and get a bigger amp. I have the xtr 2500 and it gets hot enough at 1 ohm. I have fans but .67 ohms sounds scary.
