this is a very clean system, this 10" Rockford Fosgate is tucked away nicely, and hidden well, sounds awesome. BUT I NEED MORE!!!!

Soundstream vir 5000 5.5 monitor
Now im finished !!!
Guess not. I blew one of the Fosgate 10s and i couldnt find another one. So i made the switch to the Alpine 1042type R. They dont hit as hard because i only have them at 2 ohms. I really need them at 1 ohm. Does anyone know how to hook them up to get them to a 1 ohm load? I have 3 of them.
Well i found out that its impossible to get those down to a 1 ohm load so i had to depart with them.
