ATTENTION ALL SMD MEMBERS: Do not under any circumstance buy anything from Chassistech! They do not stand behind their products & their customer service is horrible. They do not actually manufacture lowering springs, they drop ship them from Spring Tech. Chasistech.com also does business as Airbagit.com, Streetridepro.com & Truckinsuspension.com. They are all the same company! Do not trust these bastards! Their products are cheap & more often than not, you don't get what you actually order in the first place! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

what about 8 dvc subs? i can go to 1 ohm right?

Ugh. What?

My subs are Dual (DVC) 1.5's, for example. If I have 8 of them, I can't get 1 ohm. If I have 3 of them, I can get 1 ohm.

If your subs are Dual 4 then with 8 of them you CAN get 1 ohm.

DVC means nothing. You can have Dual 0.5's, Dual 1's, Dual 2's, Dual 32's.... whatever.

DVC = Dual Voice Coil

It does not mean ANYTHING about ohm load, except you can choose between 2 of them.

not necessarily. if i have one sub that's a 2 ohm sub...if it's DVC i can get a 1 ohm load, or a 4 ohm load. if i have 2 ohm sub that's a **SVC** i can wire it straight up and get only a 2 ohm load. only other way to change it would be to add more speakers. so it still has something to do with the ohm load. granted...most speakers are DVC...but still somethin that should be listed when giving info imo.

Oh I totally agree with you, just if people either state the ohmage or the number of coils, instead of both, it's completely and utterly useless to us :D

I was trying to say that DVC on it's own means nothing except that there are 2 possible impedances :)
