Anonymous | i dont understand how DVC effects the ohms. im thinkin about gettin 2 12 MTX thunder 5500 and you can get them in DVC 4 ohms or SVC 4 ohms. my amp is not 1 ohm stable. but in general what does DVC do? |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 4065 Registered: May-04 | It's ohms law, if you have multiple loads in parallel, the impedance (resistance) drops accordingly, because there are more paths for current to flow. If you have loads in series, the resistance adds together to get a higher effective resistance. DVC subs allow you to wire for either, affecting the load presented to the amplifier and thus the power the driver gets. |

Anonymous | on that website it shows the 2 positives and 2 negative wires taht run to the amp being connected, how do u connect them? |
