So I can wire a 4 ohm dvc sub to be a 2 or 8 ohm load. So the argument I had was about maximizing power output from a theoretical amplifier rated at 1000rms at 2 ohms and 600@8. I argued to wire the sub in parallel to maximize output and my friend argued series is always better because even though there is less output from the amp the power goes through both coils and each coil sees all of the power (600w ea) output instead of half (500w ea) (if it were split given a parallel wiring). Thinking about it logically makes sense but it contradicts my understanding of electrical theory. Do components in series each really see all of the power? My argument was that each coil in series would only see 300w even though there was 600w going through them.</p></blockquote><p></p>
