6 ohm dvc:
parallel: 3 ohms
series: 12 ohms

i think a 4 ohm amp can do 12 ohms, but will have very little power

it should probably be able to do a 3 ohm load aswell, but WILL get hot, and have a HIGH chance of blowing.

your best bet is to go for another sub or amp. these two cannot be matched properly.

Well i have a Visonik V109D6 1200watt sub what amp do u think will run two of these i want two amp one for each sub.

^ You should probably start shopping at some real audio stores instead of Xs Cargo.

First off im not shopping at xscargo im shopping at vector audio and this stuff is brand new not refurbished or whatever and second if you dont know something dont assume it.

if you have two of those dual 6 ohm subs you can get a 1.5 or 3 6 ohm load

look for a 1 ohm stable amp if u wanna wire it to 1.5 ohms

and a 4 ohm amp can deal with the 6 ohm load easily and wont loose too much power.

91stang

So do you think an orion 1200d would run both of these at 1 ohm stable or an orion 1200d for each sub becuase i kind of want more powere but i think that might be a bit too much for the subs.

what is the rms rating on your subs.

i think even one orion 1200d will be total overkill for those subs.

i think that 1200 watt rating is probably max.

3 ohms shouldn't kill your amp it will get warmer but not that much more hot. give it a try see if it works.

on a fosgate 700s, i tried running a 3 ohm load (dual 1.5 driver) and it got very hot, as well the power sound would stop everytime too many bass hits happened and then start again a second later.
