[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 2134759, member: 561023"] Okay If you were to wire a single Dual 4 Ohm voice coil driver with the coils in series then, yes, you would end up with an 8 Ohm load. However, if you wire those same coils in parallel alignment instead each sub will yield a nominal 2 Ohm load. I think you're misunderstanding the diagram. Nowhere in either the diagrams you linked to or the one I posted suggests only hooking up one coil. And no, I wouldn't suggest doing so. A single voice coil driver is whatever nominal impedence it is designed to be. It cannot be changed on its own. A dual voice coil driver, however, can be wired to two different nominal resistance loads dependent on which configuration they are wired in (parallel or series) [/QUOTE]
