| Would 5 D2 subs give a .5 ohm load, because 4 d2 will give you 1 ohm and 1 d2 can be wired to 1 ohm. 1 ohm and 1 ohm will give .5 ohm. is this right or am i wrong? | |

| yes except that 5th woofer wired to 1 ohm will get half of all the power.
while the other 4 woofers wired to 1 ohm combined will share the other half.

| So, if you wire each woofer in series (4 ohm), then parallel all 5 woofers... 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 = 1/Final Impedance 5/4 = 1/Final Impedance Final Impedance = 0.8
If you wire each woofer in parallel (1 ohm), then parallel all 5 woofers... 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 1/Final Impedance 5 = 1/Final Impedance Final Impedance = 0.2
These are your 2 options. 10 coils can be factored into 1x10, or 2x5.
Other option: Don't use one coil, and expect slight loading issues. One woofer will be getting 2/3 of the power of the rest... but you can get 3x3, for 2 ohm load or 1/2 ohm total. If you stick with 4 woofers, alot more options open up. | |
