Except that SVC is usually 4ohm and only runs 4ohm (on a single speaker, can't you wire 2 together for 2 ohm? or only for 8..).. On DVC, you get 2 ohm or 8 ohm.. can't you also run 4ohm on a lot of DVCs by only hooking up one set of PosNeg? Does that depend on the woofer? I immagine that it 1/2s the RMS too since only one of the coils is running.. or is that wrong....

i wouldnt actually recomend using only one coil....cause then you'd be sending the full power to one vc if im not mistaken..unless it can handle that much /coil i wouldnt do it....plus i believe it can damage the coils....not 100% sure tho

you dont want to just hook up one voice coil. I remember when I bought my first subs, some 10w3s it came with a huge piece of orange paper proclaiming "DO NOT JUST HOOK UP ONE VOICE COIL"
