[QUOTE="Immacomputer, post: 4203549, member: 570419"] Bullshit. That is just not true at all and completely misleading. First off, the different voice coil options for subs in a like series will have different T/S parameters and they will act differently in the same enclosure so that is one reason not to do it. The main reason is like mentioned before, each voice coil would see a different power, depending on how they are wired. In electronics, power is equal to the voltage times the current and can also be in terms of current and resistance: P = I*V P = I²*R If you have a circuit that has two resistors in series and one is a 2 ohm resistor and the other is a 4 ohm resistor, they would have a different voltage drop in the circuit and the 4 ohm resistor would take twice as much power as the 2 ohm resistor. This happens because current (I) is constant with loads in series and voltage is constant when loads are in parallel. Either way, it spells bad news for equal power dissipation. The same thing would happen in this situation. The only way to lower that chance would be to wire all of the D4 coils in parallel and then wire each DVC 2 ohm sub's coils separately. But again, I would not recommend using two subs with different coil configurations because the parameters are going to be different. [/QUOTE]
