While typical subwoofers have a single voice coil, dual voice coil (DVC) subwoofers use two separate voice coils, each with its own connections, mounted on one cylinder, connected to a common cone. The key difference between single and dual voice coil subwoofers is the multiple wiring options DVC subs offer: Parallel: A dual 4-ohm voice coil subwoofer with its coils wired in parallel presents a 2-ohm load to your amplifier. Since an amplifier produces more wattage at a lower impedance, the parallel connection ensures you'll get the most output from your amp. In the same fashion, if you have a stereo amplifier and two DVC subs, wire both subs for 2-ohm impedance (one per channel) for maximum output. Series: Series wiring lets you configure multiple woofers to one amplifier at an acceptable impedance. Wire both coils in series for an 8-ohm impedance, and then wire two 8-ohm subs together in parallel for 4-ohm total impedance (perfect for most 2-channel amps bridged to mono operation). Another example: if you have a high-powered 2-channel amplifier, wire four 8-ohm subs per channel (each channel sees a 2-ohm load). Independent: You can wire each voice coil to a separate channel of your amplifier, if you prefer not to bridge your amp. Independent wiring is a nice option if you're wiring two DVC subs to a 4-channel amplifier -- one voice coil per channel. |

Well If i wired my subs series/parellel how many watts will I be getting in each sub for my two kicker comp Vr 12". I m using a Zaptco I-2100 amp. Sub specs: 2-Channel Amp with Crossover and Remote Bass -Balanced line input for OEM integration -Unbalanced RCA input -RCA output -Bridgeable 2-channel amp -MOSFET power supply -Bass equalization -Variable electronic crossover -Remote bass gain Stereo, 4 ohms: 2 x 100 Watts Stereo, 2 0hms: 2 x 175 Watts Mono, 4 ohms: 1 x 350 Watts T.H.D. : <0.3% Frequency Response: 10 - 25KHz S/N Ratio: >90dB Channel Separation: >50dB Dimensions: 13"L x 9.9"W x 2.25"H |

New member Username: CreativeNewark, CA USA Post Number: 7 Registered: Apr-05 | God I should have just waited and bought ednine1. amp instead. Damn what a weak amp to power my comp vrs. But it says on the info: Bridgeable 2-channel amp so doesnt that mean it's stable? |

New member Username: CreativeNewark, CA USA Post Number: 10 Registered: Apr-05 | Well I went and exchanged the 2ohm subs to 4ohms. They said with that amp and wiring it series/parellel I would be getting 400 watts a sub. |

Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 2707 Registered: Dec-04 | because u have tot ake it out of context, its 2 cahnnels right, and tis bridgable, but ONLY bridgable to 4 ohms stable, but with that amp YOU WILL NEVER get 400 watts rms to each sub, you wire each sub in parralel to a separate channel to get 175 watts rms to each sub, thats the best you can do, i would return the amp |
