god_speed36 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 I have 3 JL audio 10's, dual 4ohm voice coils, they are rated at 300rms each. I have a Memphis 16MCD1000 amp. There wired in series at 2.7 Ohm, everyone is telling me that I should run them at 1ohm parallel, my amp would be putting out 1100rms. Should I? Quote
Chris Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Yes, run all +'s together and all -'s together to create a 1.5ohm load & most likely get around 1000watts RMS out of that amp. You simply cannot get a 1 ohm load out of 3 dual 4ohm VC subs, but this is your best bet.

Derrick824 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Three 4ohm dvc subs all wired in paralell equals 0.67ohms. Check the math. Quote

Chris Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 OOPs! must have been a late night math mistake! Yeah, you're right derrick. God speed, I'd either get a new amp, new subs, or leave it just how you have it. Although I don't know what your impedance would look like with rise in the box you have. You may be okay, but any other input would be awesome! Thanks for backin me up e-bros!!!

SPLGEO Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 if that amp is 1 hms or even 2 ohm stable you can run t at that ohm load... just go for it you'll b fine Quote 1995 Geo Prism .

god_speed36 Posted April 16, 2007 Author Report Posted April 16, 2007 So I should wire them parallel? the amp is 1Ohm stable. I was just worried about the subs being 300rms each. There wired 2.7 ohms now and dont sound the greatest...... Quote
