I was looking around at the ohm calculators and I have a question, when it asks, Do I have 3 - 2 Ohm DVC Subs or do I have 3 - 4 Ohm DVC subs. I am a little knew to DVC speakers and don't want to run some crazy .3 ohm load. When I had planned this I was looking to get 1.33 ohms but if they are 4 ohm DVC's then that's not possible, I'[m hoping there 2 ohms DVC's and then I can get my 1.33 ohms I'm looking for.
These are my speakers, its say 2x4 ohms, not sure if this means 2 x 4 ohms or 4x 2ohms, I'm sure you experts know what the hell I'm blabbering about. Let me know
Thanks in advance.

So I'm kinda screwed as to getting down to low ohms huh? I am running a 1 ohm stable Hifonics AMP and need the power of 1 ohm for this setup? Any suggestions?
I agree but dam this is not going to give me enough wattage. My amp is only 175x1@ 1ohm / 250 x1@ 2 ohm / 340x1 @ 1 ohm. No way to do any weird wiring with these to get myself around 1 ohm huh? What if I addes another of the same amp. Could I get 1 ohm with 3 4 ohm DVC's https://www.mbquart.com/en/produkte/car/discus/produkt.php?nr=dwg_254
Thanks for you guys quicks responses, Really helped me out, now I got to go spend more money...lol at 2.6 ohm id prob be @ around 275 watts, prob not gonna do it for 3 10'sw huh?
If this is for a daily driver, not competition, you are good to go with the 2.67 ohm load. The difference between that and the 1.33 is only 3 db. Try it out before coming to the conclusion that there won't be enough power.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
Totally just a daily driver, just hating not getting the most out of my equipment. Will give it a try and again thanks guys for your help.
If I did have 2 mono 1 ohm stable amps and 3 4 ohm DVC's what ohm load would i be able to get, I think the only way to get 1 ohm might be to run 1 speaker with 1/2 the voice coil connected to 1 amp and the other to the other amp, not exactly sure what ohm load that would equal though.
How about you just wire up two subs in parallel for a 1 ohm load and sell the third sub.
Well I think I'm just gonna try and see how she sounds, them mb quarts are some wild looking speakers, look like a soup bowl with about 2 inches of rubber surround. If there very effiicent I should get some decent sound, especially as I am using a sealed and sectrioned box. Kind of went a little crazy for my power, ran all 10 guage speaker wire to the subs in series for a 2.66 ohm load, which should put me at around 240 watts, well see if the mb's can run on only 80 watts each. Figure with how well I sealed the box and the nice clean install adding two amps be a pain as I'll have to rewire it all. If I think If am severly power Short I'll just add something like a 700 watt mono 2 ohm amp and then I dont have to rewire and that should put me in 600 watt range and as the speakers are only rated to 250, that should do me fine. Really appreciate you guys help, hate to be a newbie jumping on your board, but its an awsome board and I am gonna donate some buks to you guys.
