1 dvc 2 ohm and 1 dvc 4 ohm sub

dont think its a good idea to pair them

Plenty, if you use 2 separate amps.

yeah it wont be good to connect them together. 2 amps is the only way to go, ohh and make sure two different enclosures.

Dosen't "have" to be 2 different enclosures, theyjust can't share the same air space. So a dual sealed box with individual chambers or a dual vented enclosure again with separate chambers and ports would work.

lol true true, but the 'enclosed' space has to be different, like you said as well

i plann on putting the speakers in a dual downfire box with there own airspace of course. what do yall think of wiring each speaker in series than running them in paallel them together. i think if my math is correct it would be a 2.5 ohm load pulled by the speakers.

The problem is the current won't get pulled evenly. You're just asking to blow one or both of them hooked up to a single amp.

no problem that is why ask yall guys opinion im fairly new to all this dont want do do anything stupid i have two amps so ill just hook it up that way thanks for the advice

Why different airspace?
Posted Apr 30, 2007 · 14:37 UTC#11
because the requirements and use of the speakers are different since the speakers are different. youll blow a speaker or both by running it together.

**EDIT** Just realized how old this post is. I need to start reading the dates.
Series the dual 2ohm for a 4 ohm load, and the parallel all down to a 1.33ohm load, given you have an amp that can run that. You'll be fine. I've mixed different impediance coils before. Given that they are the exact same brand/model, just different VC impediance, you'll be alright. If you want to get down to the technical nitty gritty, you shouldn't do it, however, I know I have without any ill effects. Ever woofer is different, so it will come down to a trial and error to see how it sounds. With some woofers, one will play harder than the other, or one may have a slight time delay. Won't know until you try though. And if they are the same type of woofer, a common chamber enclosure will do fine. If you go for 1 amp per woofer, definately seperate the two to maximize efficiency.
