[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8755270, member: 614752"] We use DVC primarily for more impedance options for the end user for less coil options needed by the manufacturer. In extreme conditions DVC may have a slight edge in durability as the coil lead is about the weakest link on the coil so 4 would carry double the current of 2 before failure, but this should be a non-issue at any honest rated power. No skin off my nose if you decide you must take your new sub out to a stone circle at the first full moon of autumn, put on flip flops and a yellow raincoat, and dance around it 10 times while eating a sausage chanting "say it now, and say it proud, I am gay and I am proud!" but if you claim that's going to provide some audible difference I'm going to call ******** until you post up some Termlab or RTA numbers. I always try to push mine up to x-mech right out the gate after I build them in order to spot any weak links. As far as I'm concerned if they're going to break in the first few minutes they're going to break at the same point in 3 weeks, 3 months, or 3 years, or whenever I push them that hard again. Any glue joint failures is on the assembly or the glue used and can be easily remedied before putting the gorilla tape around the edges of the frames (gains me a couple tenths consistently in current wall). Honestly I'd do the same if I bought a brand new sub. If that **** is going to break let's get it returned and get a properly made one ASAP. Also interesting that nobody has mentioned mids or tweeters here either. The home theater type guys swearing up and down about the need to "break in" this have a pretty convincing line of pseudo science and logical sounding explanations for that. [/QUOTE]
