Wow..... so I need someone's help

So, I got my second 1000D in today. I took it straight to the truck.

Hooked it up, I had them ran strapped at 2 ohm. The woofers are D2's, which were ran in parallel in the box then ran in series out side the box, bringing the total to 2 ohm. I only use the left side of the speaker connectors next to the 8awg.

It worked fine, sounded good, was loud and voltage was fine.

I THEN, tried to re-wire the subs. I wired them in series in the box, so each woofer went up to 4ohm, I then ran each one to the amps. I thought that it would end up bringing the ohm load to 2 ohm, so each amp would see 1ohm. When ran like this, they weren't as loud and voltage DROPPED. Horribly

I wired it back to how it was at first and it's fine again, so idk what happened. I'm just curious to what yall think.

You ran them at an 8 ohm load..

You ran them at an 8 ohm load..

x2 but im not sure how that would make your voltage drop

[///M5 2,833]

Yep.

How did you measure the voltage drop?

--nice thread title btw, real specific

Must have been a wiring error -- check over everything very carefully.

I got everything fine now.......... I just don't see where I went wrong. And why, if it was a higher ohm load, the voltage dropped so drastically.
