two 3ohm DVC'S

This part of car audio has always been problematic for me.
This has probably been posted b4 but couldnt find it.
So here we go.. Ive got 2 three ohm DVC subs wired in series/parrellel, into a 250x1 at 4ohms monoblock amp with this configuration what impedance and wattage am I running at? If you guys could dumb down the math for me and explain it to me properly that would be sweet. I really hate not knowing this.

2x3 ohm dvc sub wired in series = 6 ohms
two 6 ohm subs wired in parallel = 3 ohms

Total wattage, assuming the amp can handle it, would be 375 watts (250 + 125). Every time you cut impedance in half, the amp tries to produce double the power... so 250w@4 ohms => 500w@2 ohms. But 3 ohms isn't half, it's half of half, so you add 125

Yes there not PG's, trying to get some RSDC's by summer, gotta save some cash though, thats what ive got for now. they are decent subs 4 the price i payed $225.00 a peice CAD. Have a look, what you guys think, honest opinions, im a grown man I can handle what you throw at me

Well, if you like them, that's what matters. But you can swing both RSd and RSdC's for less than $225/each. You can probably get the RSd for about $50-$75/each and the RSdC for about $150/each on eBay.

In a month or two, I'll be selling my RSd12D4 subs I believe, as I'm upgrading to the RSdCs. Just gotta wait for Tom to bring me my box on Dec 5 and for PG to get another RSdC in so Harold can ship it off to me.

Ultimate is ok for entry level Canadian market stuff. I moved up to their gear with my first install, replacing $10 paper whizzer cone Pioneer speakers with their 6x9's.

i was looking at the purple woofer (t1 i think) honestly...i dont see anything that would make it any better then a normal RSD...

Yeah all the other lines r garbage. Ive got a monoblock T3amp and a T3 2channel stereo running my Focals. The subs are really nice in ported , but sealed they have great low bass extension from 60hz dwn, 60hz and up on the other hand ....

. The subs I have r the T3DVC 12's those r the white coned subs in the orange car. The amps r ok but lack power, the 2 channel at a 2ohm stereo load, fukn blows goats. I am definatel missing the pg power. I do have the M25 wich I just picked up and an MX2 wich I got 2day for 20 bones

Ive also got the Audison wich I believe Im going to use 4 the front stage and the M25 for the subs. I think that should b a nice SQ system for now. I would love to get rid of the subs and get some rsdc's. From what u guys say they fukn rock. I would really like to give them a listen first b4 making my decision. The 12s I have now is the only piece of equipment Ive bvought with out a listen. Live and learn eh.
I had 12inch JBLGT's, JLW1's, and Kicker XPL's in my time and they all stomped on these

FUZZY were close enough to each other we could maybe meet up have some beers and give me a listen to the rsd's and i could also

over ur install

then maybe i could go from there. moneys a little tight right now but if I unload all the Ultimate gear i could make something happen
