[QUOTE="BnGRacing, post: 7352305, member: 557400"] If you have a pair of DVC subs and each coil is 4ohm; you have 3 choices; 1.Wire the VCs in series (8ohm) and run each sub in parallel with each other to the amp (4ohm load) 2.Wire the VCs in parallel (2ohm) and run each sub in parallel with each other to the amp (1ohm load) 3.Wire only 1 VC to the amp and parallel the subs (2ohm) while shorting the other VC's (run wire connecting the leads). This usually alters the sound of the sub and makes them a little boomier. While it looks nice in a brochure, DVC subs really don't make much sense to me as you're still painting yourself in a corner. Buy 1 sub (4ohm DVC) and you can run a mono amp. Add another sub? You're now running at 4ohm and the amp isn't seeing enough load to make power. Conversely, if you buy 2 subs you can wire them up for a 4ohm nominal load. Get rid of those woofers and replace them w/a single better 4ohm DVC sub? You'll blow your amp. PITA if you ask me.
