" need help bassheads"
Hey guys,
So i presently have a exile pro e12d dvc subwoofer in a 1.6 cu.ft ported box tuned to around 36hz. I am feeding it 650-700 rms, without any problems. Very impressed with this sub. I am running both 4ohm coils parallel for 2 ohms mono. My question is this-I have 2 of these subs on hand. I am building a ported inclosure that will house both exile subs (3.2 cu. ft in total with a divider. Each side 1.6 cu.ft tuned to 36hz).
If i use both subs but only wire one 4 ohm coil per sub and wire down to 2 ohms will i have more bass than my current setup??? The exile is rated at 600 rms-300 per coil. So with my present set up i am pushing 650-700rms into 1 sub 2 ohms mono. My new set up would see roughly 325-350 rms going to each sub. 2 subs in a box. Using only 1 -4ohm coil per sub. If this question has been asked before...sorry.

Please do not run a DVC sub with only 1 coil wired up.....bad things can happen......
If you can't find another one of the Infinity's to run the second sub, you will need one that will do 1,200-1,300WRMS @ 1ohm....a decent one should cost around $4-500......
Have fun with the new toy....

What about MTA's idea of running 2 subs in series then in parallel for a 4-ohm load? Right now 1 sub is getting 650rms mono 2-ohms. If i wire up 2 subs for a final impedance of 4 ohms my amp will be pushing 450rms-225 to each sub. Will the difference in bass output-spl be noticable???
Thanks............
