If a dvc sub woofer has X amount of peak power, and X amount of peak power per coil are they saying that the two coils can be "bridged" in order to obtain the peak power?
I currently have a 2ch amp bridge to 1ch and powering a single voice coil sub, and I have to change my sub for various reasons. This certain brand of subs I'm interested in seems to make a better/stronger quality dvc over their svc, but both the dvc and svc will meet my desire in what I'm looking for.

Will the dvc sound better (power and quality) if I used my 2ch amp to power both coils, or if bridging of the coils is possible, power it with my bridged amp.

I realize that the peak and rms of both amp and sub will have a-lot to do with power/quality, but I'm more curious to know if a dvc can be bridged into one. Also what are the pros and cons of using a 2 or a 4 ohm sub.

THE END, if this makes any sense.

Ive never heard of them being spec'd like that. Id expect that the power rating is overall, on the speaker. DVC just gives you more flexibility in regards to wiring the sub's impedence..

Make sure that you match the sub's ohm load to the amp's load stability.
