yes you have more wiring options, but it all depends on what you want to accomplish. for instance ... say you have an amp that is stable to 4 ohms bridged. Now at that point the amp is pushing the most power and you want take advantage of this but 2 4 ohm subs can't be wired to that config. If you have a dual 2 ohm voice coil sub though you can get the correct ohm load. It is confusing when you first start looking at it, but once you get ohms down it will flow it a little easier. I admit that I still get a little confused sometimes...

I think what you meant was if you have 2 dual 4ohm voice coil subwoofers, then you could wire them into 4 ohms, which you can't do with 2 svc 4ohm subs.

yeah I realized that it was not the best example, but just wanted to be able to show that with only one sub you can get differenent wiring configurations. Instead of having to get two subs to get specific ohm loads, you can get 1 dvc sub and wire to the desired effect. And yes with my example, he could just use a single 4 ohm sub on that bridged amp rather than a dvc at all.
check out jlaudio.com and look through their tutorials section for a picture representation of dvc wiring diagrams and the ohm load they achieve.
