How can i wire 1 dvc 8ohm sub to 2 svc 8ohm subs to a mono amp

How can i wire 1 10"JL dvc 8ohm sub to 2 8"JL svc 8 ohm subs to 4ohms load on a
Apline pdx600.1 monoblock amp

Closest you could come is to wire the the DVC in series so it shows 16 ohms and the 2 SVC in parallel to show 4 ohms. Then put each combination in parallel so the amp sees 3.2 ohms
Since the amp is stable to 2 ohms you can just put all the voice coils in parallel to make 2 ohms.

in a round about weird way, if you parallel the 2 SVC together and then series one voice coil from the DVC sub to each SVC sub you would get a 4 ohm load.

So I would wire the SVC subs in Parallel together and wire one voice coil of the DVC sub to the two SVC subs and use the other voice coil of the DVC sub to connect to the monoblock amp to create a 4ohm load?

As long as the DVC has 4 posts, which i dont see why it wouldnt you can wire it up like this for a 4ohm load. I split the DVC sub in two so it would be easier to see how to wire it up to the 4 posts.

Okay cool Thank y'all for helping me out I really appreciate it

This is a 8 ohm load, You got 2 lines in paralel and on each line there are 2 coils at 8 ohm in series so it means (8+8)/2 = 8 ohm.

I can see your amplifier is stable in 2 ohms so i suggest all positive connectors on all coils connected to the positive rail on amp and all negative coil connectors on negative connector on amp, this will be 8/4=2 ohm load on amp.

I read the first OP wrong and for some reason thought they were 4 ohm voice coils

He's wanting a 4 ohm load, guessing he wants the lower wattage from the amp for the speakers as a 2 ohm load might be to much. Not knowing the exact model of the subs we dont know how much the subs can handle.

He cannot get to 4 ohms, only 2 or 8. I would NOT advice asynchron branches, 2 lines in parallel and on a line 16 ohms and the other 4 ohms,it would put unequall power on each branch.

Would this work with one svc and one dvc

Yes, honestly you dont have much options in this case, but it will be an un-even load. One speaker will be louder then the other.
