[QUOTE="Immacomputer, post: 3989618, member: 570419"] Actually, you're correct that decreasing current lowers heat but in the case of a sub, wiring the coils in series or parallel won't make a difference as ultimate157 said. But that's exactly why power plants step up the voltage like crazy when leaving the plant. But, in that case, the resistance is set by the transmission line and the real difference is how much power is lost in the load. Power is power though. If you want your sub to perform like it is getting 100watts, you will need 100watts. The current and voltage is pretty much irrelevant as long as you're getting the correct power. [/QUOTE]
