If you wire 4 DVC subwoofers, with 3 having the voice coils in series, and one having the voice coil in parallel, would it change the output of the three series subs compared to the one parallel sub??? Also I bought an MTX 81001 which is 1 ohm stable. Is it really hard onthe amp to run it at .5 or .8 ohms?

Never wire subs separately/differently to an amp.... ive done that before and threw the voice coil out of the motor and it landed on the magnet of the sub.,.....no good.

Running an amp under the recommended ohm rating voids the warranty. there are few amps that can do this a mtx is one of them but i would not recomend it.

Oh yes. That one sub would receive four times the power than each of the other three subs.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Which of course will lead to sss (smelly speaker syndrome), so not the best of ideas to do. Yes it is very hard o nthe amp to run it at an impedence it was not designed or engineered to operate at. That leads to sas (smelly amplifier syndrome), so again, not the best of ideas.
