I have two 2 ohm and two 4 ohm dvc kicker Solobaric L7 subs and a 3000w power acoustik 2 ohm or 1 ohm stable amp. Is there a way to wire these to get a 1 or 2 ohm load. Also, I have a power acoustik 6 farad cap. I am losing power when volume and gain is just half way. Lights dimming and voltage meter dropping. I have been told several different ways to approach the power problem. What is the best solution; extra battery and higher amp alternator? and do I need a current distributor if I get an extra battery? This is in a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis. Thanks.

Yes, you can wire for a 1.33 ohm load, but two of the woofers will receive twice the power as the other two. Manage your inventory a little better so that you end up with four subs identical. See woofer wiring (to the left) for help. 4 DVC 2 ohm subs will yield 1 ohm; 4 DVC 4 ohm subs will yield 2 ohms...take your pick, and trade out what isn't working for you.
Just in the event, for some reason, you don't care if two subs get twice the power as the other two, the wiring is as:
...well, let the forum know your decision first.
As far as needing more power goes, look into buying a high output alternator. With that you will also want to buy a new battery (because if you're like most people you need a new battery in your car anyway).
(hint: when you say "gain is only halfway", everybody knows that you aren't sure of how to set it.)
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
