DVC??

[96burban]

hey i was wondering whats the diff between Single Voice Coil and Dual Voice Coil?? i know the the the DVC has an extra set of terminals but whats the point of it??

The only real reason for DVC is you have more wiring options. Example:

A 2 ohm SVC sub can only be wired to 2 ohms unless you have more drivers. A 2 ohm DVC sub can be wired to 1 ohms or 4 ohms by itself.

manufacturers make dual voice coil speakers (generally subwoofers) because it gives you more options with wiring

for example, a dual 4 ohm subwoofer can be wired to 2 ohms or 8 ohms. a dual 2 ohm subwoofer can be wired to 1 ohm or 4 ohms. see? gives more options.

I thought it was to balance out the cone too so its not getting power on one side and offset. Now I may be wrong but that was just what I thought the reasoning behind it was.

^^ not entirely true..

and how would it even it out if the coil is wrapped around? not on one side..
