amp is 300 wats rms at 4 ohm and 500 watss rms @ 2 ohm. Explain dual voice coils subs to me
Dual voice coil Sub accepts 250 watts rms
If I run in parrallel does the sub see 500 or 300 ? i am so confused

I'm with you on this stuff...

Done with College!!!

No more studying and now you have a lot more time on your hands...

[da.bell]

For summer anyway

But again, you still have a lot more free time.....

I'm with you on this stuff...

Exactly why I had the local stereo installers do it for me....

I thought I understood but then wetsounds had to throw a dual voice coil thing into the mix

In my free time I thought I would build a sub box. Cant build a sub box without getting a new sub to put in it

[da.bell]

So true... Why would you need a box then????? j/k

Another question
If I get a sub that accepts 500 watts rms dual voice coil will the amp that is 300 watts rms at 4 ohm or 500 watts at 2 ohm be enough to power. Only asking since i most likely will not understand you answer to my first question Yes and no answers I do better with

A dual voice coil sub has two electrical circuits, (the coils). Each coil has its own set of terminals. A dual voice coil sub has four terminals, two are positive and two are negative.

Dual voice coil subs can be found in a couple of different impedances:
Dual 4-ohm woofers can be either wired in parallel to a 2-ohm load, or in series to an 8-ohm load.
Dual 2-ohm woofers can be configured similarl into a 1 or 4 ohm load.

For any dual voice coil woofer, the opportunity also exists to be wired to a stereo amplifer that is pressed into service as a subwoofer amplifer. One channel to one coil and the second amp channel to coil 2.

Unfortunately we do not know the impedance of the woofer yet to determine how to wire it fir best results, and if the amp is truly compatible. DO you know what impedance, (in ohms) the coild are?
