Quick question about dvc's.

[MemoRXMead]

i have 2 dual 4 ohm subs. im going to wire them parrallel so my question in should i do it on one side of the sub? i never understood why they have connections on each side? is it just for convinence? i always thought one side was a voice coil, and the other side was a voice coil? im lost, any help would be grateful.

one set of terminals is one vc and the other set is the other vc

dvc give you the ability to go different routes when you are dropping the ohm loads

so i should do my wireing on one side of the sub and just leave the other side alone?

no

well i should have said im usuing a 2ch amp for right now. its only 2 ohm stable for each channel so i was going to wire it parrallel on one side of the sub. then i got to thinking about the other side and decided i should ask. if anyone can show me the best way to wire each sub down to 2ohms for each channel id be grateful

Do this for each channel:

cool thanks everybody

if the amp is bridgeable you could do a 4ohm mono load also

Wouldnt it be the same power either way? Just one way would be stereo and one would be mono. There is no subsonic filter on the amp, so i dont know if i would want to run mono?

Yes. Same power either way. You don't have subsonic filter either way then.

Alright, thanks for the help.

I recommend bridging to ensure exact same voltage to subs as a difference in power will result in "some" cancellation. Good luck
