    12-2 ?? that's a dual 2 ohm coil is it not? if so, wired in parallel, that's 1 ohm.

    Right. Which is why I wrote "NO" in my reply.

    Its a pair of 4 ohms subs wired in parallel and running out to a single terminal. Its a 2 ohm load. The only way to get a 1 ohm load would be to buy a 2nd DB212-2.

    Or replace the subs with DVC's.

    To be honest, I was tired and not thinking or paying attention when I read that. Sorry and thank you for your assistance.
