to increase the ohms that subs are running at...im running at 1ohm at the moment and would like to increase it to 2ohms. Can this be done? thanks.

Yup, double up your subs and run them in series.

Make a BIG Ol' box and there will be an impediance rise! But ya, either double the subs or get a recone for 2ohm.

oh...so i guess theres no resistor i can jus throw in there to increase it

how about hookin up a small 4ohm speaker up to the sub wiring? or am i jus talkin jibberish

oh and what would i get if im running two duel 4 ohm subs and 1 single 4 ohm sub?

hmm i was thinking of running the subs at 4ohm and adding another cheap 4ohm speaker into the wiring to bring the load down to 2ohm...anyone know if that would work?
