[QUOTE="ultimate157, post: 3986583, member: 566638"] Correct. Even though you are lowering the total amperage in the circuit by going from parallel to series wiring, each coil will still be seeing the same amount. Say you have a DVC 4 ohm driver and want to run it on 400 watts. If you wire it to 8 ohms, series wiring, then total current running through the circuit is 7.07 amps. Since the wiring is in series, then the current through both components in the circuit is equal to the total current. If you wire it to 4 ohms, parallel wiring, then total current in the circuit is upped to 14.14 amps. However, since they are wired in parallel, then each coil still has 7.07 amps running through it. Edit: Using your example you are actually increasing the current through the coils by running the sub in series. Each coil carries the total amperage of the circuit. In the parallel example, the coils are seeing equal amounts of current (since they are the same resistance) so 54.77/2 = 27 amps. [/QUOTE]
