Bronze Member Username: Will4992NC Post Number: 55 Registered: Mar-08 | Are the 2 ohm DVC's though? The cap is not necessary. |

New member Username: Cmack111Post Number: 4 Registered: Feb-09 | yea they are Dual Voice Coil |

Bronze Member Username: Will4992NC Post Number: 56 Registered: Mar-08 | I know, we've already established that they are dual voice coil subwoofers. what I need to know is what impedance the coils are. Are they dual 4 ohm coils or dual 2 ohm coils. If they are dual 4, then they can not be wired to 2 ohms. |

New member Username: Cmack111Post Number: 7 Registered: Feb-09 | That will run them at 2 OHM? |

Bronze Member Username: Blkbville04Monclova, Ohio US Post Number: 64 Registered: Oct-08 | ditch the cap, with 500 watts your stock electrical will be able to handle it up to about 1200 watts |

New member Username: Cmack111Post Number: 8 Registered: Feb-09 | So with the 2nd wiring diagram how do I wire the other two wire hookups on my subs? They are DVC. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 9910 Registered: Jul-06 | WTF????? The picture shows 2 sets of terminals on the sub, but the specs say single 4 ohm. Somethin ain't right here. |
|
New member Username: Cmack111Post Number: 10 Registered: Feb-09 | Yea. I looked at the site and it doesn't have the exact speaker listed as the picture. They are single voice coil 4 OHM subs. Can I wire those at 2 OHM? |
|
Gold Member Username: Big_edge_headMilwaukee, WI Post Number: 3497 Registered: Mar-07 | Yeah just like this picture and the one above it.  |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 9915 Registered: Jul-06 | If they are single 4 ohm then there will only be one set of terminals per sub. Just wire them like that diagram. |
