Subwoofer ohm wireing help!?!?!?
Okay, I have a hifonics Brutus 1700 mono block amp that has 2 separate subwoofer plugs, and I am planning on putting 3 Kicker cvr 15's on it, the one problem is, 1 cvr is dual vc 4 ohm and 2 are dual VC 2 ohm and I'm not sure how to wire all 3? I wanna run a fairly low ohm so I can power the subs with plenty power, but the amp only goes down to 1 ohm.
How would I wire this?
Also, IF I can manage to trade the 2 2 ohm subs for 4 what ohm could I wire 3 4ohn subs at? Or if I could trade the 1 4ohm for a 2 how many ohms could I wire 3 2ohm subs at?
I know alot about car audio, but this is one thing I'm confused without lol.

Preferably, you would want three dual 2's for that amp.
That would allow you to wire for 1.3 ohms getting 1600w or so out of the brz1700.1d

You'd need to be careful tuning the amp (no bass boost, conservative gain setting) in order to keep the subs safe at over 500w each.
With what you have I'd probably just do without the dual 4 for now. Wire the dvc 2's for 2 (http://m.seimg.net/product/img/subwoofer_wiring/2_... again being careful with how the amp is set up.
The two speaker outputs are not separate channels. They are two physical connections to one channel, and they are parallel to each other so if you connect a two ohm load on each output the amp will see 1 ohm.
