Hello and thank you for your time.
The amp is a Kenwood 640W with Rated Power Output of:
Normal (4ohm) 60wx4
       (2ohm) 90wx4
Bridged (4ohm)180wx2
My question is this: Can I wire the 10" 2ohm dvc (300w max) in series to the A side of the amp bridged(4ohm) and the 12" 4ohm dvc (rms/peak either 200/400 or 250/500) either independently(4ohm) or parallel to the B side bridged(8ohm)?
I have this insane desire to have both 10" and 12" sound.
If not, then which of the above speakers would you suggest and how would you wire it for a Kenwood KAC-929 with Rated Power Output of:
Normal (4ohm) 150wx2
       (2ohm) 230wx2
Bridge (4ohm) 460wx1
Call me crazy,
Angie

The precise technical answer to this question is 'yes' but I'm not sure you would really want to.

Right right. The response of a 10 with the drop of a 12? Right. Okay it doesn't really work like this. How about a pair of 12's or a pair of 10's?
That amplifier leaves you like a bazillion proper wiring options - why don't you pick a few subs you like - link to them - and we can take a look from there eh?

Good morning, crazy. (wull... you said!... 1 10 2ohm dvc , 1 12 4ohm dvc to 1 amp? -- posted image.) Yes, you can, as was stated. You will not "notice" any "magic" (because there won't be any...), just because you have a 10 and a 12. If your amplifier does NOT have individual gain controls for each channel, be certain that your woofers are wired to present the same load per channel. If your amplifier offers two gain controls, Then you can wire each woofer however you'd like.
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
