Single 4 ohm vs. dual 2 ohm

[ScottWatkins 10+ year member]

Any advantages of one versus the other(both wired to 4 ohm)? I was just wondering, besides the dual coil being more flexible than the single coil. Would you see any performance difference at the speaker?

Thanks,

Scott.

If you're comparing the same line of woofer except different voice coil configurations there will be slight variations between a single 4 ohm VC and dual 2 Ohm VCs wired in series. You can see this if you compare T/S parameters. These differences aren't enough to justify picking one over the other.

Not much difference usually the d2 will have a thicker coil which might result in a tiny bit more motor force

Gotcha. I didn't think it could be much difference.
