Voice coil stopped working????

Nick New member Username: Nick937 Post Number: 1 Registered: Jul-06	Posted on Saturday, July 29, 2006 - 00:43 GMT I have two 12" DVC ample audio exonics in a dual vented box... the were 4 ohm DVC and I wired them up together to deliver 4 ohm bridged to the amp.. This worked great although a few times it rattled a connection inside loose, but i rewired it and it was fine.. I noticed the other day, one speaker was not working. I assumed a connection had come loose.. Everything inside was fine, so i began testing it, and on one speaker one voice coil was not working, i connected it up to the other coil on the broken sub and it started working perfectly fine again.. i now have to wire it up differently because of the dead coil... can anyone give me an explanation on what happened?
