well it says that single voice coil theyre 4 and dual voice coil theyre 2 or 8, so you think that amp can handle a 1.34 ohm load?

Okay...now is the time you should sloowww down, read over what was already told to you, digest it. Or do what I do when I start getting frantic; go take a shhh and think about it.

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

I don't know why you're determined to get a 1ohm load, but those subs and amp isn't a good match. First, you can't get 1ohm out of 3 4ohm dvc subs. Second, the amp doesn't say it's 1ohm stable. Only 2ohm and 4ohm. The only way to do the sub and amp combo is use 2 of the Pioneer subs, wire them to the amp in a 4ohm load. It'd be 400watts to the subs. You can't get a 2ohm load out of 2 4ohm dvc subs, so 4ohm is your only choice.

I'd say get a bigger and better amp. Audiobahn is a bad choice.

Wire the subs like this http://www.lightningaudio.com/latech/wiringwizard/2_4ohmDVC_4ohm.gif

Here are your wiring options for the 3 subs

Option 1 (series/parallel) = 2.67 ohm load

Voice coils wired in series, speakers wired in parallel

Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 2 or 1 ohm mono

Option 2 (parallel/series) = 6 ohm load

Voice coils wired in parallel, speakers wired in series

Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 4, 2, or 1 ohm mono

You should run them at the 2.67 ohm, 6 ohm would give you alot less power. I doubt that audiobarn amp could handle 1ohm. BTW i think wen pioneer give the DVC specs at 2 or 8 ohm they mean that each voice coil is 4ohm so the independancew load can be either 2 or 8ohm for each speaker

i have an audiobahn a8000t, its a one channel 800x1 at 2 ohms, i have 3 pioneer ts-w306dvc's wired at 2 ohms, they are 400w rms and 1000w max dual voice coil, so im guessing the amp is at 2.6 ohms because i dont think the subs will drop down to 2 ohms, anyways i cant seem to get it to sound real good, can any1 tell me what i should do wit it, where i should have the lpf crossover turned at and should i have subsonic on/off, help please i need it to hit hard

If those are dual 4's and you've got them series-paralleled, it's at 2.66 like you said. Is the enclosure you're using designed for those subs? If not, you'll want to remedy that first. Start with around an 80 Hz low pass crossover point. If you're using a sealed enclosure, then you don't necessarily need a subsonic filter, but it may not be a bad idea. If it's adjustable, set it around 20 Hz. Now do a search in this forum on gain setting and make sure that's good.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

yeah unfortunetly it is in a pre-fab sealed box, which dosent help me much and not to mention i did the dumb thing of buying 3 instead of a simple 2 or 4, but i think i need to get a bigger n better amp like ive been told
