[QUOTE="pavengmike6, post: 533862, member: 553009"] You asked the question about SVC/DVC (single/dual voice coil) and the difference in Ohms of subs and which one is better. I will try to make this a short as I can. You need to match your subs and amp. With this I mean if you get 2 DVC 4 Ohm subs you have many different combinations to run the Ohms at. But if you want the most power you would want to run them at a 1 Ohm load. With this you will have to find a 1 Ohm stable amp. If you only bought 1 DVC 4 Ohm sub you could run 8 or 2 Ohm load. Then you would be able to find a amp that is 2 Ohm stable. And so on and so ON. Bottom line is know what you are going to do with your system before you buy anything. If you want a 1 Ohm load system know what you need to buy and insure the amp is 1 Ohm stable. As for sound that is based of the sub and enclosure. Different subs work good in sealed and some work good in ported. KNOW what type of box you are going to make or get prior to buying your subs. You need to know if your car can hold the larger ported box, or if you will have to use a sealed one because of room. There are so many different things you need to know before you buy anything else. If you have the room and want the most bass go with a ported box. If you want sound quality and a tighter bass go with a sealed box. [/QUOTE]
