[QUOTE="forbidden, post: 1679520, member: 552189"] What, explain to me why it is bad advice. Read the balance of the line that you quoted from and then re-explain it. A sub, any sub, regardless of the number of voice coils can infact be ran all day long provided that the coil being used is operating within it's thermal limits. If you are overpowering that coil, it is going to fail. I have had a customer using one coil on his dvc sub for going on 8 years nowand other customers even older that this with no ill effects. This is sort of like saying that because your truck is 4 wheel drive you have to use it in 4 wheel drive all the time. Perhaps I should have verified that he has a dual 4 ohm sub first, however, I stand firm that it is fine to operate a sub on only one voice coil. Another article for you guys to research on.
