[QUOTE="KaeZoo, post: 2043902, member: 554753"] Power handling for a dual voice coil sub is rated using both voice coils. If you use only one, it can't handle as much power. Also, the T/S parameters of the subwoofer change when only one voice coil is used; the subwoofer becomes less efficient, since both voice coils have to move with the cone even though only one is being used. The new T/S parameters may not be a good match with the reccomended box specs. There are ways around some of these issues, but if you're just wanting to use only one voice coil to give you a better impedance match with your amp, it's not a good idea. [/QUOTE]
