How to wire a DVC in parallel.

[whitesharingan 0]

I've seen a few different ways to wire a DVC sub

in parallel. but which way is right?

Here are a few diagrams that I have found online:

Everything Car Audio: Single DVC Subwoofer wiring

Subwoofer Wiring Diagrams, One 2 ohm Dual Voice Coil (DVC) Speaker

Are either of these ways right or wrong?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Is wiring it the first way gonna reduce the load on the amp?

Making it a 2 or 4 Ohm load.

lower ohm of resistance => the more the amp/your electrical has to work

If you have a dual 2ohm sub make sure you're amp is stable down to 1 ohm. If so that would be more of a load on the amp but produce more power. If youre amp is not 1 ohm stable wire it in series would put less of a load on the amp but produce less power.

I have a Rockford Fosgate T2500.1BD and I have it

wired like the first diagram I displayed.

Is that an actual 1 ohm load?
