finkster Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 ok...sooo...ummm.... Im going to go out on a limb and say that a level 3 (re se) cant handle 1200 watts, based on the fact that 600 watts stunk one of the coils up.... I am also going to say that only one coil CAN be run on a DVC sub, so long as you are running half the power the sub is rated for...in this case it would be 300 watts...

Noobtastic14 Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 noob, whats the other side of that BNC cable turn into. speaker wire or an RCA? Its an adapter to female RCA from the Scope and a Male RCA to speaker wire connection to the woofer. -Drew I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

Kicker Guy Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 What is so wrong about running 1 coil on a DVC sub?

oldschool Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 The t&s parameters will be off and reduced power handling among other things.

Guest Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Its an adapter to female RCA from the Scope and a Male RCA to speaker wire connection to the woofer. -Drew hahah siiick i gotta try that. right now i just have a bnc to male rca. do you just stick the speaker wire end straight to the woofer terminals or the amp output terminals or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker Guy Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 The t&s parameters will be off and reduced power handling among other things. If you short out the other coil T/S are still very close to what they are with both. And power handling is still around 75% of rated power. Could you elaborate on the other things?

finkster Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 The t&s parameters will be off and reduced power handling among other things. well we know the power handling will be reduced to at least half or i guess more with what kicker guy said ^^ lol I dont know about the ts parameters...not that smart...But theres nothing wrong at all with running only one coil so long as you run the correct amount of power accordingly DAT 4125------>RE XXX comps active Eclipse cd7000 I serve drunks for a living Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool Posted December 25, 2009 Report Share Posted December 25, 2009 Yeah I guess but would you buy a v8 motor and run only 4 cylinders and I know they have that 4 6 8 crap now for fuel mileage but you know what I'm sayin.

I know what you are saying, but not wiring the other coil doesn't remove it from helping handle heat.

Boon Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 On a bunch of DLS subs they recommend only running 1 coil when using a sealed box. Then you can either leave the other coil or short it out to change the Qes of the sub to suit different enclosures. Power handling is like, 65-70% of normal. The rest of the coil still acts as a heatsink for the part that is being run. Then again it's usually done in a SQ context so power handling is pretty much a moot point. 10.x volts fo' life!
