[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8849191, member: 689267"] I'm sorry, I was incorrect on that initial post, blurry vision and up late night, that is a series connection and it’s correct, I’ve edited the response. As for this question, think of each coil as its own speaker. It’s effectively two motors with one cone (a V12 instead of a V6). This is regardless of the number of coils total in any configuration as the math equation is the same and when applied, the result is the sum of it's parts. Since we’re talking about resistance (ohms), when you wire any coil(s) in series or parallel, think of the current flow. In a series connection you start at the amps (+) to the first coil leads (+), then go to the other coil leads (-), then from the 2nd coil leads (+) back to the first coil lead (-) and on to the amps (-). The flow is linear (in a straight line) which increases the resistant load. Amp (+) to woofer (+) > (-) > (+) > (-) and back to amp (-). A parallel connection is not linear and reduces or halves the load the amplifier sees. Amp (+) to woofer (+/+) and woofer (-/-) back to the amp (-), not linear and it halves the resistance. Parallel is (+/+) to and from and (-/-) to and from simultaneously, series is start here, go all the way through the circuit and back to the amp. Electricity will always follow the path of least resistance so a parallel connection, short drive there and back, (least resistance) allows more power to flow, series connection, longer drive = more resistance, prevents more power to flow. This is not exactly the complete reason but for most it‘s a good visual. [/QUOTE]
