You are telling us the dcr of the sub. The single voice coil version of this sub is infact 3.1 ohm and the dvc sub is dual 4 ohm. The problem that you have is with the amp. It is not designed and engineered to handle the load presented by three subs in mono, which I presume is how you have them amp running, It is blowing fuses as it is protecting itself, as impedance drops, current draw goes up, if you continue on this path you will cause failure of the amp. You amp can safely run two of your subs in a series / parallel circuit. If you are intent on running all 3 of these subs sub/amp wiring help - Page 2 - Last Post -- posted image. sub/amp wiring help - Page 2 - Last Post -- posted image.sub/amp wiring help - Page 2 - Last Post -- posted image.sub/amp wiring help - Page 2 - Last Post -- posted image. you will need an amp that is capable of doing it properly and a box that will handle all that thes monsters can dish out.

I am grateful for the advice. I have one more question though... is it ok for me to wire each voice coil of sub to seperate channels? For example vc 1 of sub 1 to chanel one, and voice coil 2 of sub 1 to chanel 2.  if so then I can wire the 2 vc in series creating 6 ohm load ad the 3 vc parrellel bringing it down to 2ohm load and wire it to 1 channel, do the same with the remaing 3 coils and wire it to chanel 2. if I can do that then I would be with in the specs of the amp at 2 ohm stereo..please let me know what you guys think

Wanted: More help than most
