dvc sub trouble

I picked up a pair of used Kicker CVX 10s, both dual 2 ohm. One sub works in either series or parallel, but the other sub works only when wired in parallel. Would a blown voice coil cause this? Or just a loose wire or something? Help please!

if it works one way it should work another. if anything id say make sure your amp is stable at the ohm loads you are giving it. check your wiring and make sure its correct. based on this wiring wizard you might be wiring to .5 ohm and your amp probably, most likely, isnt stable at .5

I wired each to 1 ohm and tried them 1 at a time on my Crunch p1500.1 which is 1 ohm stable and they each worked. Then wired them to 4 ohms each and put them both on the Crunch and only 1 worked. I changed the wiring back to 1 ohm on the one that wasn't working and it started working by itself again. So I know its not the amp or the wiring.

if the subs are working then it has to be the wiring. if you didnt wire them up to either the 2 or 8 ohm configuration on the link i provided then its your wiring. i can pretty much guarantee your amp isnt stable at .5 ohm
