so u have a quad coil sub? What is the impedence of the coils? What amp are u using

 

[patrick1202 10+ year member]

you mean dual coil hence the term Dual Voice Coil 2ohm or 4ohm it usually say somewhere on the sub dvc2, or dvc4, or dv2, or dv4, post what it says but i thought thos were svc but i bet they are probably dvc2

im using the american pro amp i got everthing hooked up now i got one positve and one neg hooked up it bangs but i know if allthe slots is filled it will be better

 

[patrick1202 10+ year member]

yea you are just running one of the vc if you run both voice coils it wil drop the ohm level on the amp and it will push more watts to your sub and usually using just one vc isn't a good idea

 

[patrick1202 10+ year member]

if you run a wire from one pos to the other and connect and do the same to the neg then run a wire for the pos and negative it will drop the ohm level from like probably 4-2 0r 8-4 or 2-1 so

are you just running one sub

 

[JarrettCTE]

so on the other side of the speaker use another pos and neg

 

[patrick1202 10+ year member]

yes try to find on the sub like dvc2 or dvc4 and yes just connect it h/o

check the pic out thats what it should relatively look like

 

[JarrettCTE]

so what if i take all the pos and hook them up and all the negs and hook them up

It's quite difficult to point you in the right direction without knowing a couple important factors.

if you can, figure out:

Number of subwoofers: 1, 2?

Voice Coil Configuration: Dual 2, Dual 4

Amplifier specifications: Monoblock, 2 channel, 1 ohm stable?

From the OP's first post it sounds like he has a quad coil, NOT dvc.

Post specs of the sub and amp so we can help you correctly. Ignore all above posts because they do not have enough information.

I've seen DVC drivers that have four sets of terminals like he described...the MothaFunkin' Audio 12 was like that.

A link to the product(s) would be helpful...

My guess is that this is the sub: http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=1914
