2 dual 4ohm subs can be wired to 4OHM though right?

Tha-Game

yea, just go paralell on each sub to get an 8 ohm load then series to the amp to drop it back down to 4 ohms

I think you mean series then parallel. 2 in series= 8 ohms, then in parallel makes 4.

If you wired it up in parallel it would be 2 ohms.

k couldnt u do it either way? long as u have it opposite.

like coil to coil, on each sub, + to +, - to - then u could wire from sub to sub - to +, and + to - thats kinda the more complex way,

u could also go coil 1 to coil 2, + to - then run wires from each sub to the amp, and that would give u the same load, the first way would reduce the wires outside the box. u would have one connection going from the subs to the amp, rather then 2. either way gives a 4 ohm load, long as u dont go + to + all the way around connecting all the coils that way ur ok.

Tha-game - yes, you are right.
It doesn't matter if you wire it series then parrallel, or parallel then series.

Series then Parallel
4+4 = 8 --> 1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4 = 4ohm Final
4+4 = 8 -->

Parallel ------------- then Series
1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2 -> 2ohm --> 2+2 = 4ohm Final
1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2 -> 2ohm -->

It doesn't matter which way you do it first, you will still get a 4ohm final.

ok THA-GAME i am still lost...could you draw me a diagram please!!!! this idea could be helpful with my set up i have..

oh and btw my subs are DVC6ohm...and wanting to bridge out on my amp to get a 4ohm load
