Yea, more wiring options for your amplifier. In no way a DVC is better sounding, louder or more changgih than a SVC.

Added on October 10, 2007, 12:37 amIt's also not true that a DVC is harder to drive than a SVC. Very much depends on the power handling and sensitivity ratings of the subwoofer. I've had and seen many SVCs that are harder to drive than DVCs.

So, why DVC? ...

Answer:

Wiring options.
I.e A dual 2 ohm voice coil subwoofer can be wired to 4 ohms or 1 ohm. A dual 4 ohm voice coil subwoofer can be wired to 8 ohms or 2 ohms. Say, you want to install 2 subwoofers or more. Using a couple of DVC subs is easier to configure to accommodate or squeeze the most of the amplifier.

Cheerio.

Hur??? Why would someone run a sub @ 1 ohm or 2 ohm off an amplifier that minimum impedence for bridged mono is 4 ohm stable? Plain dumb. You'll need dedicated monoblock (that is 1ohm or 2ohm stable) or a purposed high-current amplifier for that purpose.

But I can kind of guess where you're coming from. You're basically saying that an amplifier is less efficient and stressed at lower impedence. However, think about this... running loads not recommended in the specifications is a no-no in the first place. It damages your equipment or kills it.

Very simple actually. RTFM.



* RTFM = Read the F**king manual.
