Should I Short the Voice coil or NOt ?

[BrokenJaw 10+ year member]

After doing some reseached i found out that i can infact use a single voice coil on a dual voice coil subwoofer

Reason is :

my amp will only do 500rms at 4ohms and i have a Dual 4ohms sub

so wiring both Voice coils will get me to 2ohms or 8ohms but i have to stick with 4ohms so wiring only one voice coil and leaving it at 4ohms is all i can do.

So what do i do about the 2nd voice coil do i leave it alone or hook up the + and - together on that voice coil to ( short it )

yeah go **** yourself

go do some reaserch before giving out wrong info

the whole point of having dual voice coils is so you can run any application

2 4 8 or 1 2 4

you can wire in series, parraler or use just one voice coil

and its actualy not half power but if you only use one voice coil you loose out on only maybe 10-15% of the rated rms on the sub when using only one voice coil

so if i was to use a 1000rms amp on this 1000rms sub and just wiring one Voice coil then yes you are right id be demaging the sub abit..

but this isnt the case so go crawl back to the ******* you came out of
