Sub wiring configuration

Say you have 3 dual 1 subs
Can you wire 2 series and 1 parallel to make a lower ohm load. I was told this was possible but I have my doubts.

Sibs wont get same power.

Yepp. What fish said

Kinna what I was thinking

i always wired 3 coils to one amd and 3 to the other

never had an issue like this and did 164's

How does each sub get different power?

Done that at scrapin lol lost the two in series but the one in parallel is fine.

for reals this is basic stuff

Yeah it's fer reals. I never did it before and I would rather be educated to the fast than to go tearing anything up finding out.
Don't gots a heavy bankroll to be replacing everything

GAIN MATCH THE AMPS AND IT WILL BE FINE


I USED BOTH + AND - FROM THE LEFT AND 1 + AND - FROM THE CENTER AND VISE VERSA

164'S ON 2 Z2'S ALL DAY LONG

Will be 3 dual 1s on 2 strapped d5's

ON 12V?

RUN EACH AMP AT .33 AND BE DONE WITH IT MAN


THAT SERIES PARELLEL Dung Pile WONT WORK I ACTUALLY ASKED ESTES THIS AND HE SAID IT WORKED FOR A WHILE FOR HIM

WELL I HAD 4 3250'S ON 3 15'S IN MY DIME LIKE THIS AND WELL

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

THEY BLEW UP LOL

Ok guys, i will explain, when you wire 2 subs in series (dual 1ohm) then you have essentially (2) 2ohm loads, then when you wire that 3rd sub in parallel for .5ohm, you have 3 values, 2ohm, 2ohm, and .5ohm; the sub wired in parallel is 1/4 the resistance of the other two, then if all 3 loads are in parallel for a final .33 ohm load, the power will not be distributed equally among the 3 subs, the sub wired in parallel will see way more power than the other two which are wired in series. Specifically if you distributed say 1000w among the 3 subs, the two subs wired in series would see 166w each and the one sub wired at .5 would see 667w alone since the load is not equally distributed. It's all ohm's law.

Exactly . I'm not sure the other guys understand the situation

What jeff says for .33 is no different if you wired each sub to 2ohm and then parallel them for .66 strapped.

All that is what I had in my head and is why I asked . I'm now in full understanding

i did it my way because i absolutely hate strapping amps

I want another d5 just gotta come up with another

Allen got a thread on L soundoff for some d5s new 700
