Silver Member Username: MakmillionMN United States Post Number: 375 Registered: Apr-06 | Say I have 3 dual 4 ohm subs and I want to achieve as close to 1 ohm as possible... can I wire two of them at 8 ohms, and the other at 2 ohms, then wire them all together for a final load of 1.333 or will this somehow hurt the sub(s)? If I can do this, will it hurt my amp to run them at 1.333 ohms? I've never run an odd number of subs, always 2 or 4. Please help! |

Silver Member Username: MakmillionMN United States Post Number: 381 Registered: Apr-06 | Well, I'm buying Issac's 3-10" xtants.. they're 250wrms each and my amp will put out 700rms *according to specs, according to ecoustics it'll do 650 or so* and I want to have enough power to them.. |

Silver Member Username: MakmillionMN United States Post Number: 383 Registered: Apr-06 | the reason im buying them is because my 15"s are being underpowered by about 300-350 watts, and the the other ones would be powered perfect at 1 ohm with 900-1000 watts. I suppose 600 or so is okay :\ |

Silver Member Username: MakmillionMN United States Post Number: 384 Registered: Apr-06 | Id like to... If I wire up just two I'll be putting 900-1000 watts rms to two subs that are 500 max each. imo, that might be a little too close to the limit for 10"s.. what's your opinion? |
