Question about wiring subs to strapped amps

[Sir-Lancelot 216]

Hey guys.

I have 4 D1 coil subs and I want to wire to a final load of 2 ohm.

Here is that:

What a mess!!!

My question is can I wire 2 pair like so at 4 ohm and run each to the amps bringing the final load to 2 ohm final?

This option would allow me to run heaver ga wire and make wiring much easier.

My amps manual says to run master positive to sub positive and slave positive to sub negative with a jumper wire running from master negative to slave negative.

My 2 D1 subs are currently wired like so using all 4 speaker inputs on the amp to bring the load to 1 ohm.

Let me know if I am not being clear about something and Thanks in advance for any help!

images don't work?

Curious if This would help at all?

not sure what up with the pics, they are there for me.

Yes, according to that the amps will parallel (internally) even when strapped.

thank you for that link Sir!

do this-

Take ALL 4 subs and individually wire each one in series to 2 ohm.

So now, you will have 4 single coils at 2ohm.. 1 coil per sub.

take 1 pair of subs (2 coils) and wire them in series to achieve a 4 ohm load.

do this to the other pair(2 coils) of subs as well for a 4 ohm load.

now you are left with 2 coils left, each at 4ohm...

Now, just take that and parallel them together for a 2ohm load. WALA.

thanks man,

I got to put that on paper for a visual. I got to see a visual for things to click ya know.
