I have a 1600 watt mono class d amp and two dual voice coil memphis 12s I have them wired parallel witch gives me a 2 ohm load but to get max power I need a 1 ohm load and you can't bridge a mono block cause they go into a single inside the amp even tough it has two speaker inputs on the out side so how do I get a 1 ohm load

what's the ohm load on the subwoofers? dvc 4's or dvc2's? if the subs are dvc 4ohms then wiring them all in parallel should give u 1 ohm.

btw, do you have the brand/specs of the amp?

The amplifier is already bridged, you can't bridge it any further.
Like audiology was getting at, the only conditions you can get your 2 speakers wired down to 1 ohm is if either you had 2 speakers with 2 ohms a piece, or if you had 2 dual voice coil speakers with 4 ohms each coil.

the subs are dual voice coil memphis 4 ohms a peice not sure the model they are older with the orange basket and a magnet that looks like it can come off the amp is a 1606d hifonics brutus the specs are
4 ohm 550x1
2ohm 1100x1 these don't say peek power or RMS
1 ohm 1600x1
dampening >250
singal to noise>95db
thd&noise<0.08
variable input leavel (unbalanced)0.2-9v
input leavel comtrol (balenced)0.04-18v
input impedance(unbalanced)47k-ohm
input impedance(balanced)20k-ohm
hears the specs i thought you might have wanted but i have'nt done car audio in 6 years other then "hay you hook this up and tune it " but i guess thats what it is so info is grately apprisheated and thanks

So with your current setup you cannot increase the performance or effiency without changing out the components, ie amp or subs.

I checked if un hooking one sub made a diffrence and it sounded the same as two so I then checked to make sure it was the same with the other and it was so i checked the volts at the amp and they are way low so i got a memphis lighting cap but still need to hook it in line and see what happens and by chance whould any body have a idea as to how many watts the subs I got might be theyare 07 model memphis

they are 800 watts peek and dual 2 ohm voice coil that mean I should wire diffrently
