impedance

ok so I've got 2 15's, which are dual 6 ohmmwhen on my mutimeter they are actually 5.8ohm, so I parralleled them all the way, which should in theory make 1.5 ohms right, but it didn;t it makes 2.1ohms, so I'm wondering why and if there is anything I can do to solve in the box?, divider between subs? Anything short of buying a couple of real subs I'm broke right now!!

What kind of amp are you running..I dont think a differential of .6 ohms (2.1 - 1.5) is going to cause an issue...

check the resistance in the leads of the multimeter, mine show from.04 to 0.6.
The added amount of resistance in the leads could be where your extra half an ohm is coming from.

100% right, I wouldn't worry about it.
