I have a PPI 600watt rms amp and a TRIO of Alpine Type S ( 2 of them are 4ohm dvc and 1 is 2 ohm dvc )subs I need to run lowest 4 ohms bridge so could I wire the 2 4 ohm dvc down to 2 ohms each and the 2 ohm dvc to 1 ohm then just put them in series to get 5 ohms, by the math it looks right..........Or am I wrong???????

y on earth do u have 2 different ohm subs??? the 2ohm dvc will get more watts than the other 2 and will sound significantly louder...if you wanna do that just run 1 sub 2 the 2 4dvc and another 2 the 1 2dvc everyone else will tell u the same im sure

flatulatta has learned a lot since hanging out here and is right on. Don't use subs with mixed impedence off the same amp. The math may be right but the application is not.
