Wiring 2- 2ohm DVC with a 4-ohm DVC to 1ohm??

Can anyone tell me how to properly wire up 2- 2ohm alpine type r's (DVC) 12" with a 4ohm alpine type r (DVC) to my mono block amp, with the 4ohm in the middle of the two 2ohm subs. I wanna run all three subs at 1ohm..
A diagram or detailed explanation is greatly appceiated. Thanks guys

If you wire each dvc2 in series to make them each like an svc 4ohm, then wire the dvc4 in parallel so it is like an svc2 and then wire all three in parallel, your amp will see 1 ohm.

Unfortunately, the dvc4 driver will see twice the power as each of the dvc2 drivers, and that is bad. There is no way to get each driver to see the same amount of power.

Leave out the dvc4 driver or try to trade it for another dvc2.
