see if this makes sense

i was just thinking(usually dangerous) i have an amp that is1200 @2ohms mono, 600per channel@1ohm. presently i have dvc4 woofers if i hook them up the regular way i get 4ohm or 1ohm mono. i have been reading that some people hook an amp to both voice coils so each amp i guess would see 4 ohms off each coil, right? now heres the crazy part; shouldnt i be able to take the + - off one coil on one speaker then the + - off the other put them together on one channel and get 1 ohm? then do the same for the other coils and get the same for the other channel, now all four coils are running off two channels thus giving the amp its 1ohm per channel? . is this possible or am i thinking too much( i work midnights aint much else to do lol) i am not going to do this i have just been wondering about it for a while since i originally ordered the woofers for that amp but got the wrong vc set up and was too lazy too send em back.

I need amps and speaker model numbers to answer this. Theoretically it would work though. You are describing it a little weird.

If you have two DVC4ohm subs and you wire each vc together (para) you'd receive a 1ohm load. 4ohm/4 coils= 1ohm. Just like if you had two DVC2ohm subs and you wired them para that would be 2ohm/4 coils= .5ohm. Does that make sense?

i am not sure how else to 'slpain it. i know it sounds kinda funky, like i said i was bored and started thinking. but here is another stab at it : woofer 1+ to woofer 2+, then woofer1 - to woofer 2 - on one terminal those two pos and those two negatives on the should yeild 1ohm load on one channel. then take the remaining +'s -'s and hook them to the second channel. i should have 1ohm on right and 1ohm on left. what i am trying to do is to see if there is a way to get dvc4 to play at one ohm per channel. not 1ohm bridged. this is for the us amps 400 wich will do 600per channel @1ohm. it will do the 1200 bridged but @ 2ohms. since there isnt a config that will allow me to drop two 4ohm dvc's to 2ohm bridged iwas trying to find a loophole in ohms law to do one ohm per channel. i think i just confused myself well throw out a couple ideas if you guys wish, then throw this thread in the trash lol

If I understand you correctly your using one coil from each woofer on each channel. If so that would only be 2 ohms per channel. You cant cheat ohms law thats why its ohms law and not ohms theory.

hahahaha yeah you understood me correctly and well...the law is the law. when you put it so simple now i see the error of my ways; the two four ohm coils would only drop to 2 ohms(duh) if it were 2ohm coils it would drop to 1ohm. sorry me for wasting time with my half sleep ideas lol, and thanks for the answers.
