You can't get a 2 ohm load. You can get a 1.34 or a 12.

You can however use two of them to end up with a 2 ohm load.

would this work with a 2ohm stable amp?

would this work with a 2ohm stable amp?

You could try it and hope for enough rise.

Are you going sealed or ported?

[svman]

idk what do you think

[Guest]

you cannot wire 2 amps to 3 subs. not for a sony amp, no way in hell.

try ported for those subs, they should sound alright.

[svman]

this would not work or just one amp on each sub

No, that won't work.

You could run 1 amp on 2 of the subs (so it sees 2 ohms) and the other on 1 of the subs then gain-match them so the subs are all seeing the same power.

If you wire it like above... I'm not 100% sure what would happen but it wouldn't be pleasant, I bet.

buy one more sub..

Paralell 2 together

Paralell the other 2

then series em for a final load of 4 ohms

EDIT: Didnt see that you had two amps

Just run 2 off one amp save the other tamp ans sub for a rainy day

Dude, don't wire that way veryyyyyyyyyy bad things will happen. All the magic smoke will come out. You're not goin to get 3 of those subs on 2 amps unless 2 on 1 then 1 on 1, Heh Heh 2 on 1.
