I have two 12" 4 ohm dvc fusion subs that are 250 watts rms each and a 1000 watt fusion 5 channel amp. I also have two 6.5" that are about 65 watts rms each, and a pioneer head unit
Im having trouble figuring out the best way to wire this system. I tried wiring each voice coil to its own channel so each sub would be getting 200 watts and then i wired the two 6.5" in series into the other channel. The problem i was having with this is i wired the two 6.5" into one of the front channels so this left one front channel, two rear, and one sub channel; so now one sub will play nothing but bass and the other will play nothing but vocals. Im not sure how to fix this and have both subs playing bass equally.
I could bridge the amp so i would have 200 watts x 2 @ 4ohms and wire each sub in series to the two channels but wouldn't this be the same as above? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
Oh boy.

Wow. That is, by far, the most interesting thing I think I've ever seen posted here.
Okay. I'm not familar with a fusion amp, you should post a link to manufacturer and product page if you can.
Regardless, try wiring it like this:
Channels 1&2 = Left Front 6.5 speaker.
This is bridging, wire the positive speaker lead to one of the + outputs, and the negative speaker lead to one of the - outputs. Leave the empty speaker outputs alone.
Channels 3&4= Right Front 6.5 speaker
Channel 5= Subwoofers
You need to wire each voice coil of each sub together, in series, then parallel the subs together to produce a 4-ohm load. Uhh.. go here:

Then pick your configuration from the drop down box and choose the "4-ohm" wiring configuration.
Uhh. Set your xovers to 80hz LPF on your 5th channel, and 80hz HPF on the other channels.
Set your gain to about 1/3 of the knob and turn up until you hear distortion, then turn it back down a bit.
Post back with questions and results.

sry about this the way i explained my situation was kind of confusing lol. my main concern though is getting as much power to the subs as possible. I was wondering if i could connect the subs to the bridged channels? Like wire the voice coils of one sub in series to one bridged channel and do the same for the other sub?
Also the 6.5" speakers i have could be wired to the head unit alone if i needed to, i couldnt find a product page that has them on it, but if i wired one speaker to a bridged channel that speaker would almost be getting it's peak power
