G'day

jus been lookin at upgrading my system mainly my subs, i don't know heaps bout dual voice coil subs and was wondering if someone could give me their opinion on what they think.

What would be the difference, if any between the following 2 setups:

1. Having a 2+2 Ohm dvc sub wired in series to make a 4 Ohm load

2. Having a 4+4 Ohm dvc sub wired in parallel to produce a 4 Ohm load as well

Would there be any in the sound between set ups, or is the main point of 2+2 DVC subs to allow you to wire your sub the your amp in a 1 Ohm load (providing the amp is 1 Ohm stable).

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Two 4 ohm coils in parallel will give you 2 ohms, not 4. DVC Subs' only purpose is to give you more wiring flexibility, a sub will not sound different because it has a different impedance than another.

oops yep ur rite 2 Ohms, maybe i was thinkin dual 8 :happy055: cool thanks . So its purely for more wiring options,

thanks for your help

Its main purpose is wiring options.

However check all specs thouroughly.

Sometimes you can gain/loose xmax between SVC and DVC subs.

Yeah actually now that I think about it, I can think of one case where xmax varies according to impedance: JL's 12W3v2's come with different Xmax's based on impedance.
