Sub wiring request for help

Try in relay's section for more detail here you find the answer coz' you must wiring 2 woofers in paralell and with another must connected in series

If you want to get 4 ohms you can run the speakers with the 2ohm dvc to 1 ohm each.  Run pos to pos the out then neg to neg then out.  If you put those 2 into the amp it would be 2 ohms the add the 1 4ohm dvc from pos to pos and neg to neg which would be 2 ohms, so your total would be 4 ohms which should be the right match for the rockford amp.  so run each sub in parell by itself then put them all into the amp to get 4 ohms.  Hopefully you can get it to work.

yeaqh, I finally figured it out, read some info on the site. Now Im stuck with 2 2ohm DVC subs and a 2 RF 1000bd amps rated at 2ohms each amp, bridged looking for 4 ohms, I've stupidly spent most of my cash, so now Im looking at possibly adding 1 more 3121 to try to bring the imp up to 3ohms which is closer to the 4 than 2 is. Ive been told that I can run these 1000bd's at 1ohm per amp or 2ohms bridged, but I dont think rockford specs it at 2ohms per amp for the hell of it... decisions, decisions, hell I guess I could throw both 3112's wired 2 ohms to just 1 amp, but that seems underpowered to me... any suggestions?

Thanks

That is about your only option left with the subs wiring configurations and the capabililities of the amps. Make sure, real sure that you have a very very good ground for those amps, if you have a dmm, make sure the ground return resistance is less than .5 ohms or expect problems with the power supply down the road. I do not recommend that you run these amplifiers into a 1 ohm load at all, I've seen crispy amplifier when this happens.  You can add a 3rd identical sub and parallel / series these subs to have the  approximate3 ohm load (probably close to 2 ohm), it should work fine. Wire the system like this.

Wiring Option #2

Okay, I've managed to scrape some cass together, and had someone pay me with a 3rd Fosgate 3112 sub. The sub enclosure is done, all three subs have exactly (well 1.002 ft3) 1 cubic foot. The amp rack has just gotten the vinyl done, and I dont want to start cutting into it for power and such until I am sure about the amps. I can wire the 3 3112's in 1.34 ohms or 3 ohms (per rockfords wiring wizard).

I've so far been told that the two bd1000's synced together will "run" the 3ohm speaker load. Im guessing it would supply about 1700watts at 3 ohms (guess). I've been told that the 3ohms will SMOKE the power supplies in 2 months by Fosgate techs, yet others here say it should work. My question, well why I have the 800.00 bucks, should I be looking into say a DEI 2400D amp (2400 watts at 2 ohms, 2 ohm stable) or some of the other 1ohm stable class D amps out there. I have LOTS of bills I could spend the money on, and just run the fosgates, but hey, whats life all about. Anyone (keep in mind the 3 1000RMS 2000MAX watt Fosgate 3112 2OHM DVC subs that I am choosing to run) got a recomendation for  a class D amp. I listen to Slipknot and thrash, my music is hardcore speed, so I dont even know what SQ is, Im looking for SPL and basically to be a menance to society (ha ha, with only 800 bucks.) also, I havent upgraded the 100amp 98 expedition altenator yet, but am running a Optima yellow top, and have a 5 farad capacitor/power distribution system...

Thanks
