ok i'm running a Fusion DA monoblock and think i have wired up the 2 x 12" DVC 2 ohm subs to .5 ohm can someone please advise me. as i was aiming for 1.0 ohm?

this is what i've done: i have wired each sub in paralel then hooked them to the amp as the amp has 2 pairs of terminals i have wired each to its own pair of terminals on the amp?

hope you understand what i mean as i normally run 1 amp per sub so i'm out of my comfort zone here. doh


cheers

Yeah, with dual 2s, you're either gonna get 2ohm onseries and 0.5ohm parallel mode. You need 2 x dual 4 for a 1ohm setup ;) UNLESS, you wanna run a single dual 2... you'll get your 1ohm load in parallel... just means you need double the amps :/
