protocaster69 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Could you run two 4ohm DVC subs at 1ohm and one 2ohm dvc sub at 1ohm and run them together to get a 2 ohm load w 3 subs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky A. Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Could you run two 4ohm DVC subs at 1ohm and one 2ohm dvc sub at 1ohm and run them together to get a 2 ohm load w 3 subs? wait ok so u wanna run 2 subs each with 1 ohm load and other sub with a different ohm load? why not just get the three subs with the same vc's and wire them like this for 4 ohm vc's http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/3DVC_4-ohm_mono.jpg and like this for 2 ohm subs http://a248.e.akamai.net/pix.crutchfield.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/3DVC_2-ohm_mono.jpg yeah ude be running 2.7 ohms instead of 2 but ide reccomend all the subs matching and if u did it ur way the third sub might be out of phase... not sure though BUILD LINK: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/112034-2-sundown-18s-98-f-150/page__p__1565972__fromsearch__1#entry156597298 Ford F-150Truck:37" superswamper tsl radials16" ion alloy wheels3" body lift2" suspension liftOffbrand brushguardPIAA driving lights6000K HID'sSystem:2 18" Sundown NightshaedAq3500Custom Fiberglass boxfosgate T1 6x8 Coxialsbass inferno 2000 watt 4 channel2 XS power d3100's0 Gauge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protocaster69 Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 ok thats what I was thinkin... It is the same exact sub... just different ohm vc's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxim Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 and if u did it ur way the third sub might be out of phase... not sure though The subs would not be out of phase. However, it would sound all funky. Here's why: Let's say your amp puts out 1000w rms @ 2 ohms. It goes out to your subs. It hits the spot where there's 2 subs wired on one side and 1 sub wired on the other side. Both sides have a total resistance of 1 ohm, so the power splits evenly between them. your 2ohm DVC sub gets 500w and your 2 4ohm subs get another 500w. Now this poses a problem because the 500w going to the 4ohm subs will be split again to go to each of those subs. Your 4ohm subs will only be getting 250w a piece, while your 2ohm sub will be getting 500w by itself. That sub will move a lot more, and the other two won't be able to keep up. It'll sound sloppy and just won't sound right. If you wanna run 3 subs, sell the 2ohm one and get another 4ohm one. wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers. I was hoping for 150 . I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky A. Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 ok thats what I was thinkin... It is the same exact sub... just different ohm vc's yeah runnin 3 subs can get tricky.. especially with dvc's but ide stick with what crutchfield says haha play it save and give up .7 ohms cuz if it end up being out of phase u got 1 sub that u cant use.. and that would suuuuck BUILD LINK: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/112034-2-sundown-18s-98-f-150/page__p__1565972__fromsearch__1#entry156597298 Ford F-150Truck:37" superswamper tsl radials16" ion alloy wheels3" body lift2" suspension liftOffbrand brushguardPIAA driving lights6000K HID'sSystem:2 18" Sundown NightshaedAq3500Custom Fiberglass boxfosgate T1 6x8 Coxialsbass inferno 2000 watt 4 channel2 XS power d3100's0 Gauge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxim Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 oh ok thanks. that would explain why my last 3 sub setup i put in a friends car was wierding out haha HAHA yeah. There was a guy on here who had 2 subs in his trunk, but he noticed one was moving a lot more and was louder than the other. He pulled them out and checked them and sure enough one was a 2ohm sub and one was 4ohms and he had just wired them together to the same amp. wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder.

protocaster69 Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 alright... It was just a hypotheticle idea type thing cause someone gave me a kicker comp vr the other day... I'll prolly either just get 1 more 2ohm dvc or sell this one and get 2 subs that dont suck... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
