Multiple terminals on subs

[<v=rus> 10+ year member]

I really don't understand 2 ohm, or 4ohm, or 8ohm. I looked up some subs that were dual 2 ohm and dual 4 ohm. they had multiple wire terminals. is this for two amps to power one sub?

its to make wiring them easier

wiring easier like adding two amps to one sub?

you could put 2 amps 2 one sub if they were identicle amps. but it is to give you more wiring options ans higher power potential

Using DVC over SVC is simply for wiring flexibility. It's not 'easier', per se, and in fact is more confusing for most people, but I think flexibility would be the more accurate term.

If you're trying to decide between a 2 ohm SVC and a 4 ohm DVC, odds are, it isn't going to make a **** bit of difference. Certainly not one you'd ever notice.

Do not use two amps on a single sub unless you are very experienced and know exactly what you're doing.

In other words, judging by your post, this is not something to attempt.

more wiring options

adding more subs & whatnot.. looks like you have alot of reading to do..

if you know what subs you want you need to find an amp to power them ..

you need to get the correct VC setup so your setup will work proper..

DVC SVC? dual voice coil. single voice coil. So I can wire the amp to one terminal and be alright?

no this will not be corect..

thats like hooking up half the spark plug on a car..

no. you cant. youll put stress on one of the voice coils. like what he said about sparks plugs, also like boxing with one good arm and one broken arm.

so should i run four wires from one amp output to the two seperate woofer terminal?

yes or just one one set to the first coil then a set from first coil to second
