This may be a stupid question but this has kinda thrown me off. :trippy:

When buying a dual 1 ohm sub does that make the sub 2 ohm or just 1 ohm?? Would the dual 1 ohm be 0.5 ohms in parallel?

Thanks!

D1 in series = 2ohms

D1 in parallel = .5ohms

Don't run just one coil.

:woot:

Don't think you can run an amp at .5ohm nominal load daily either.

Any manufacturer that condones doing that is stupid.

DO NOT do it. You WILL burn stuff up.

Get a dual 2 and wire in parallel to 1ohm, and leave it at that...people thinking you have to wire shit way down to get more power out of it blows my mind...you do NOT do that stuff for daily. A tone burst at an SPL competition..sure..daily. NO. Those korean/chinese amps cannot handle it. They freak out.

    yeah i totally get that, i wasnt planning on it. great to know that ppl will give the heads up though! :drink40:

    Get the Dual 2 if not already done so and wire parallel to 1 ohm for the most output

    like Nick said, .5 ohm will just ruin the amp.
