So for whatever reason I can't seem to figure this one out. I currently have two 4ohm dvc 12s in a box configured to 1 ohm in my 1 ohm amp. I wanted to get a 3rd 12 but read you can't have three 4ohm 12s wired to 1 ohm. But the triple 12 box has a terminal for each 12. Do I hook up each sub to its own terminal? I'll have 3 sets of wires coming out the back. Not sure about all this. Can someone please explain why there's 3 terminals on the box, one for each sub, and how to wire that to a 1 channel amp, if I even can wire them at 1 ohm

 

Things we need to know. What is the model of each component? Read the manual for:

Are the subs single or dual voice coil?
What is the impedance rating of the sub(s)?
What is the lowest impedance the amp can handle?
What is the wattage of both the amp and each sub?

 

I did say dvc I did say 4 ohm each sub I did say amp is 1 ohm What do watts matter. I'm just asking how to wire the subs. Watts has nothing to do with this. Not sure why but your response annoyed me. You clearly don't have the answers if that was your response. Thanks for trying. I already figured it out. With three 4 ohm subs it's either .67 ohms ( which is no good for the amp) or 2.67 which means Im not getting all the power. Doesn't matter if I wire the subs in the box or using the 3 terminals. The triple box is no good for me unless I buy a new amp at 2 ohm. I'll just keep my current set up for now. Thanks anyway

 

Wasn't trying to be snarky, just breaking it down to the basics. There are many possibilities with the wiring and what the rating of the 3rd speaker could be and how close to 1 ohm you'll get and how the sound could be changed. There is no exact answer.

You don't need an identical 3rd speaker . You may need to rewire the 2 you have. IE two 8 ohm and one 2 ohm is 1.33 ohm in parallel.

 

Sorry for the late response. Ended up buying a whole new enclosure. Still 12s just more powerful. Got Skar evl's. Thanks for responding even though I'm a jerk sometimes. Lol. Know anything about battery isolators? Check out my new post.. question about grounding
