Help wiring subs

[Kenrofashow]

have a orion cobalt 800d mono block it has 2 channels which is the same channel just paralleled out to 2, I have 2 svc 4 ohm 10" subs in one box and a svc 8 ohm 12" sub in another box. What would be the best way to hook all 3 subs up to my mono block amp safely? Or is it even possible to do so?

If you put the two 4ohm speakers in series you get 8 ohms. Put the 8ohm in parallel with those and you end up with a 4 ohm load to the amp. That should be acceptable.

Never even crossed my mind to look at it like that!!! That's Frickin awesome man! Ima go try it now as we speak!!!! But I have one more question..
.what if I wanted the amp to read 2 ohms or even 1 ohm?

All of them in parallel would be about 1.6 ohms . 1 / (1/4 +1/4 +1/8)
