[QUOTE="Forty-Ouncer, post: 613598, member: 547104"] lol well dude it depends what the dual voice coils are. are they dual 2ohm? dual 4 ohm? I remember someone a while back posted a wiring thread explaining all this with diagrams. but heres the gist of it ill teach you really quick. basically there are two ways of wiring your subs to your amp. Parallel and series. Parallel - if you had dual 2ohm voice coils(VC) and wired them in parallel it would cut the resistance to 1 ohm. thus dual 4ohm VC in parllel would be a 2 ohm load, and dual 8ohm VC would be a 4ohm load. Series. if you had dual 2 ohm VC wired in series the resistance would increase to 4ohms. dual 4ohm VC in series would be 8ohm load and dual 8 VC would be 16ohm. So what you gotta look at is your amps rating @ a certian ohm. SO for instance most amps are capable of a 2ohm minimum load. So in this cause you would want the final load of your subs appearing as 2ohms to that amp. So a dual 4ohm VC sub wired in paralell would work good. but if you want 2 subs then you would need 2 subs with dual 2 ohm VC which you would wire in series producing 2 subs with 4 ohm loads. THen with that you would wire them in paralell to get a final 2 ohm load to your amp! Of coarse there are aslo single voice coil subs which are easy to work with. So you might want 2 4ohm subs(which you would wire in paralell to get 2 ohms), or 1 2ohm sub thats a lot of typing that may not have come out *** clear as it is in my head. did you get it? maybe somone else can sum it up better. but my advice to you is to look in that wiring help forum for that thread. the guy posted pictures on configurations of multiple subs with differnet ohms and voicecoils.
