Trying to achieve > or = 2ohm with these subs

Figured I'd post this question up to this forum, too. You guys have always been great help.

I have 2 Kicker 10L7 subwoofers (I know what everyone here thinks about square subs, so please, no comments on the sub choice). One is DVC 4ohm and the other is DVC 2ohm. Is there a way to achieve a 2ohm or greater load with these two subs connected together? Or will this even work? My amp is 2ohm stable d-class monoblock.

I have the wiring diags for 2-dvc2ohm and 2-dvc4ohm subs, but am confused about 1-dvc2ohm and 1-dvc4ohm together.

yea....series wire each subs voice coils together and then parallel the subs back to the amp should give you 2.6666666666666666666666666666667

I think a simple 2.66 would of worked just fine... haha

EH?

I thought I read somewhere that the Ohms deal ONLY works when the Ohms being series/parralleled are the same.

Furthermore the subs specs are not exactly the same. There are various changes in the T/S specs and sometimes/usually the xmax is different.

FYI of course

yea but he already had the subs....as far as the ohms go, all you need to do is creat 2 loads in this case 4 and 8.....4x8=32/4+8=12=32/12=2.6666666etc
