kragan Unregistered guest | Anyone know if only connecting 1 voice coil of a DVC sub would damage the sub? Thanks |

Anonymous | i have a 15 inch sub that i blew. it's a dvc 4 ohm subwoofer. one of the coils went out, and so i just bridged one of the coils of the sub to an amp stable at 4 ohms. this wouldn't matter because the other coil is fried already right? |
