wL<3bass Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) thats why i asked about it before i pulled a stupid move and blew my shit up. ok now i got a question for you since you know more about my amp then me. if its only stable a 2 ohms bridged if i wire each dvc 2 ohm sub to 1 ohm to each channel will that give me full power? right now its hooked bridged 2 ohm, birthsheet which i know is in a perfect situation and voltage at 2 ohms all channels combined (bridged yes?) says 733 watts. total rms @1 ohm 1129 so can i wire my subs different to take advantage of more power or do i have it in the optimal now with the way its wired? If your subs are D2 wire each one in series (4ohm per woofer) and then parallel them together for a 2ohm load and then bridge your amplifier.

When then that's about all your going to get out of that amp....which is plenty for those subs...if its not "pushing" them hard enough you might want to look into a more efficient enclosure design.
