How to wire 6 AE IB15s?

[PoorboyMike]

Is there any decent way to wire up 6 AE IB15s to run off a bridged EP2500? Or even 3 per side in stereo mode?

I'm trying to plan out my IB sub. I was originally going to go with 4 of the Fi IB18s but the way my theater is working out, I really don't have as much room as I'd like below my screen. They would fit but I'm trying to keep the drivers at least 6-8" above the floor in case my basement floods. I could probably get away with using 4 15s but then I got to thinking that it would be cool to have 2 per manifold directly below each of the LCR.

What do you think?

I think I may have found something. Does this look like it would work?




"For 8 ohm speakers, you get a 5.34 ohm load."

Anyone see anything wrong with this?

The figure of 5.34 is correct three woofers parallel will result in 1/8+ 1/8+1/8 = 1/R -> R = 2.666 Ohm. Two of these networks in series will bring the total resistance @ 5.33 ohm.

Please note that this impedance will not tell the whole story, the real impedance can differ at other frequencies.

That's the only viable option you'd have..
