[QUOTE="Kangaroux, post: 7352302, member: 628495"] with a single voice coil sub you only have one pair of terminals, so if that sub is a single 4ohm then when you hook it up the amp will see 4 ohms. think of wiring dual voice coils like you would 2 subs. (1) dual 4 ohm sub wires to the same impedances (electrical resistance measured in ohms) that (2) single 4 ohm subs will. wiring a dual voice coil sub in parallel results in halving the impedance of it, wiring it in series doubles it. to run it in parallel, you would run wires from both terminals to the amp. to wire it in series, you put a wire connecting the + and - of one of the coils, and the other coil is run to the amp. hit me up on chat if you have any questions [/QUOTE]
