BJD3 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) 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.

svman Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 would this work with a 2ohm stable amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banginAltima Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 would this work with a 2ohm stable amp? You could try it and hope for enough rise. Are you going sealed or ported?

Guest Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svman Posted April 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) this would not work or just one amp on each sub Edited April 22, 2009 by svman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 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. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeumtires Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) 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 Edited April 22, 2009 by smokeumtires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjfails Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 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.
