[QUOTE="jlaine, post: 46916, member: 542392"] But it's not actually dead weight. It can serve a purpose... Be mindful, if you run a single coil on the woofer, TERMINATE the other one to itself. (IE, short it out). You will lose sensitivity from the situation, but the woofer parameters will remain the same as if you were driving both coils. If you leave one coil open, your Qtc will rise, and the box may seem boomy, even though you aligned it in an "audiophile" (ala butterworth) alignment. You can also wire a potentiometer along that coil, and use it for a on the fly, dial in Q... Cut power handling by about 60% is a better figure, because you may not have full excursion potential from just one coil, and the other, sitting as it is, will help retain heat against the one that is running.
