subwoofer confusion
I purchased a Kicker CVR 10 and have a question on hooking it up. it has dual 2 ohm voice coils. with a 2 chanel amp can you just hook one chanel to each coil? the instructions that came with it show it wired either parallel (this would give me 1 ohm load) or series (this would give me 4 ohms load) both diagrams just show one set of leads going to the amp. I have a 200 watt 2 chanel amp now that might not be enough. what would be a good resonably priced amp? it is rated at 300 rms and 600 peak

Your amp will deliver the same amount of power bridged into 4 ohms as it does individually into 2 ohms. You also have the advantage of a higher impedance circuit which will give a better damping factor and less speaker line loss.

where does the second voice coil get its input from? it looks like it is just hooked up to itself. is there a conection in the speaker itself?
