    I had these subs, and fyi if you get them wire BOTH voice coils, or they go bye bye, soon.

    Err. Im assuming by your post you didnt read the manual, especially the part that says you have to use both voice coils or the sub will die.

    In all dual voice coil subs you CAN use only one voice coil...changes the q of the system or something....BUT you have to watch the power you send to it...power handling is decreased but you still can use one voice coil

    In DVC subs each coil handles 1/2 the RMS. If you have a 200W RMS sub and decide to wire one coil then you should only be running 100W RMS to that coil.

    If you have two voice coils I would recommend using both. (my opinion) Why waste the speakers power handling ability.

    also helps prevent frying the coils. less heat per coil having the power distributed among both rather than all on one
