It wont work properly.

Choose which sub you want to use most. If you hook them all up power wont be distributed equally to each sub so one will be louder than the other, and will sound like poo.

save yourself the grief, sell the sub, cut the box in half and call it a day

Just make one channel 2 Ohms and the other 4 Ohms. Its a bad setup but it will work and it wont damage your amp. Whatever its your stereo, go for it.

Nobody was talking like it was hard, its actually a very simple wiring configuration if you understand series/paralell.

They were only commenting on how its performance would be.

1.) You have 2 diff subs in the same box (I assume it is common chamber)
2.) You have 2 different wiring configurations for each sub

At the end of the day its your stereo so whatever makes you happy. I would personally never run it like that though.

really? so does mine.. but my amp isn't that great so it keeps going to protected mode on some songs. and plus I can't use my bass to the max.
someone donate an amp to the ginxer foundations.




03 gsxr 600 less then 16000kms
asking 6500$

my guess is you didn't wire it correctly so the amp is seeing too low of an impedance.
