    ok got some new powerbass extreme 12'' subs. they have dual 2ohm voice coils. that means if i wire + to + and - to - it will have a 1ohm load for each sub right? i had them in a ported box on a 500 watt memphis amp, but i really dont like the sound of a ported box. im goin to put them in a sealed box. these suckers are really heavy too. ill try to get some pics up here soon. the model is xs 12d

    if each sub is wired to a 1Ω load and you wired them together then what is the final load?

    .5 or 2 ohm

    how many dual 2 ohms do you have?? because you cant wire two dual 2 ohm subs to 1 ohm, if thats what you are asking.

    With a pair you will have either a .5 or 2ohm load. They will take some serious power. I can put about 1800 to each before they get sketchy.

    I had 16 of them in my truck. Now they be collection dust :D

    i have 2 dual 2ohm subs at the moment. if i wire each sub in parallel it would be 1ohm right? if i got two memphis 500.1 amps they will run 500 rms at 1ohm. correct me if im wrong.
