I want to connect a Power Aqoustik to a PD-4000 at 1ohm .... Anybody can help me ? the Pd-4000 is 0.5ohm stable so it is good i guess.... The Power Aqoustik Mofo 12 " is DVC 1ohm and 1200 W RMS

1+1 ohm dual coils?
wire the coils in parallel (+ to +, - to - bridged) and wire the sub straight to the amp.
that's a half ohm load

The sub says 1ohm DVC ... Do you have any diagram i can stay on ??? your saying that i bridge the + to the + and - to the - of the amp than connect the sub normally...

PowerAcoustik doesnt make a 1ohm DVC sub. If your refering to the mofo just parallel the voice coils and bridge the amp. This is the exact setup I have and it works perfect.

So, on the sub connect both + together and both - together so that there is only one set of wires coming from the sub. Then connect the two wires from the sub to both outer speaker terminals on the amp.

I believe what he was trying to say is that none of us have seen a sub with dual 1 ohm coils.

I've seen dual 1.5 ohms (JL 13W7), dual 2 ohm (Kicker compVR), dual 4 ohm (most common), and even dual 8 ohm coils (Adire Shiva), but dual 1 ohm, I don't recall encountering.

Can you verify the load per coil on those subs, or supply a specific model number?
