yea i know big guy, there 2 1500d's strapped internally, and i and 4 different ones and all of them where NOT 1 ohm stable on a perfect 14 volt system....

its 2 ohms stable bridged for 3000 rms, 1 ohm per channel stable so it still is technically 1 ohm stable. It really depends on the amp though, bigpimpin91 runs his at 1 ohm stable all day, and can even get it to wang at .5 as well, its weird

have you checked your ohmload at the amp with a ohm meter? you could have had wired them to .25 ohms because if they are d4 you could wire 4 and 4 like this

4_4ohm_dvc_05ohm.gif

but if you wired them like

4_4ohm_dvc_2ohm.gif

per 4 will make all 8 1 ohm load

if you had it wired the other way, your looking at .25

GOOOODDDAMMIT!

I have them ALL wired parallel.

So if i took the 2 sets of four and put them in series, would that put it at 1ohm?

LOL .25 is crazy low huh, but yeah wire each set of 4 up to 2 ohms and then run them together will get you 1 ohm, or you can wire them all together to get 1 ohm

So the two sets of 4 at .5 ohms, when put in series will make 1ohm?

Thank god, thats way easier than rewiring all 8 subs..

Well its working fine now with them in series.

I'll rewire them all sometime this week after i get some more speaker wire. i have about 4 feet left.

But thank you armyguy. Saved me a hell of a lot of head scratching and an enormous face palm.

no, it is not.

i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

no he means take each set of four thats wired to 0.5 and wire the 2 sets in series to make 1 ohm

car audio is just a LOT more complicated than "this amp does this power" or "this sub will be this loud". its like 2 + 2 = banana. (if that confuses you then you get the point) lol
