NOW 8 eu-700's, AND it should be loud!
Alright, I wanna do something semi-extreme. I want to get 6 eu-700's and make a custom fiberglass box, 3 on each side. I know many on here have 2 eu-700's. Are 2 loud? Do you think 6 would be loud? Im planning on getting a NINe.1 and wiring everything @ 2ohms. That should be 150rms to each sub. Any suggestions would appreciated, especially from those with "wonder woofers" already!

He is also the CSO of eDesign. He should be able to answer any questions you have.

Wonder woofers is the term.... I wouldn't call my 2 loud (I consider loud to be anything over 140dB) but they hit damn hard for 6.5" subs (probably around 130-133dB).... what really got me was their ability to get the low frequencys pushed out.... I'm probably going to get 2 more and seal them with 600watts before long....
I think 6 in a sealed enclosure would get up there around 138 which doesn't sound like much, but you'd be surprised... I still think one of the best parts of these are the "wow" factor.... people think you have a great 10 or 12 but in reality you have a few of these little bitty things....

I thought that wiring D2 parallel, D2 parallel, D4 parallel, and then wiring them together in series, I could get 4ohm total. Since three on each side, two 4ohm loads in parallel would be 2ohm. But I could definitely be wrong?!

a d2 in parallel is 1 ohm + d2 in parallel (1ohm) + d4 in parallel (2 ohm)...those three in series could give you a 4 ohm load. Then two sides of that in parallel could give you a 2 ohm load.
However like mandos said, mixing impedances does weird things since they are sharing airspace and will have different power to them.
