2 Ohm Dual Voice Coil Sub Wiring

The two voice coil configurations allow for different wiring options.
2 ohm dual voice coil sub wiring. Two 2 ohm dual voice coil dvc speakers. This subwoofer wiring application includes diagrams for single voice coil svc and dual voice coil dvc speakers. The voice coil of a car subwoofer is the coiled wire that is wrapped around the former or cylinder inside the subwoofer. Option 2 seriesparallel 2 ohm load voice coils wired in series speakers wired in parallel recommended amplifier.
A dvc speaker has two voice coils each with its own set of terminals. Option 1 parallelparallel 05 ohm load voice coils wired in parallel speakers wired in parallel recommended amplifier. A 2 ohm single voice coil sub has a fixed 2 ohm impedance rating so would draw 600 watts from this amplifier. When you only wire one of a dual voice coil subs coils you split its power handling ability in half threatening to burn the sub out and increase its distortion because the sub has to push around the dead weight of the disconnected coil.
A svc speaker has one voice coil and one set of terminals one positive and one negative. Wiring dual voice coil dvc subwoofer drivers with multi driver sub systems which often feature dual voice coils dvc on each driver the level of wiring complexity can be enough to turn off even the most adventurous of car audio do it yourselfers. The same 2 ohm sub with a dual voice coil would offer 1 ohm and 4 ohm connections depending on whether you wire the two voice coil terminal pairs in series or in parallel. All car amplifier will work with a 4 ohm load wire it like this diagram.
The two voice coil configurations allow for different wiring options. Stable at 1 2 ohm mono.
