Find a soundstream rubicon 702. I think theres one on ebay.

i saw that... ive been watching it

Ok well the only way it would be wired at 2 ohms since its DVC would be if you wired each voice coil seperately (I think). If you wire them in parallel (together) the amp would see a 1 ohm load. It can also be wired to 4 ohm. Search subwoofer wiring diagrams if you are confused.

Back on topic, I'd browse through all the classified adds, occasionally there is some awesome deals in there.

why does it say different in the manual then? im confused. Yea, id rather buy from the classifieds here than ebay.

looks like its sold?

The other party has only stated interest. And apparently that has waned as there has been no response since I posted the requested shipping quote. Nothing is sold until the seller gets paid for it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

A single, Dual 2 Ohm driver can be wired in parallel to a 1 Ohm load or in series to a 4 Ohm load.

http://www.soundstream.com/manuals/2...%20SUBWOOF.pdfit shows a 2 ohm load and a 8 ohm load for a single driver? Am i not looking at something right?

Ok well the only way it would be wired at 2 ohms since its DVC would be if you wired each voice coil separately (I think). If you wire them in parallel (together) the amp would see a 1 ohm load. It can also be wired to 4 ohm.

Now that two people have said the same thing...

Originally you posted this:

I just bought a soundstream splx 12" that does 750 rms.... its a dual 2 voice coil... any recommendations?

Most here on the board would take that to mean you have a Dual Voice Coil driver (meaning it has two separate coils) that are both 2 Ohms nominal impedence. The manual you've linked us to gives a wiring illustration for a Dual 4 Ohm sub (two voice coils each measuring 4 Ohms nominal resistance.
As repeatedly stated ~ a Dual 2 Ohm sub (what we thought you meant you have) can be wired in parallel to a 1 Ohm load or in series to a 4 Ohm load.

If what you actually have is a Dual 4 Ohm driver then the diagram in that manual is correct and it can be wired in parallel to a 2 Ohm load or in series to an 8 Ohm load.
