I just bought a Stroker DVC but the guy was running only 1 voicecoil before, would that damage the sub? Any help please. Thanks

 

if anything i believe just that once coil... i ran one vc for a while with my old subs just the see if i could tell a difference. 2 is better then 1 imo.

 

thanks but I would like to get a more technical answer on that one.

 

i not a very technical person but if it was to damage anything it would prolly be the vc thats running

 

all the coils do is change your impedance so you can have different configs for your amps but if your sub was made with 2 coils i would run them both

Thank you, my question has been answered

 

If he did not over drive the sub, then no there is no dammage to running just one voice coil. But that goes for any sub SVC or DVC

 

svc is only one coil to drive lol :P

 

There's no danger to driving only one coil. both coils, since they are in contact with each other, will dissipate heat, which means that the power rating does not significantly decrease, and the impedance difference is the biggest change.

Also, because you're not using both coils the MMS/EMF ratio will change slightly, and lower your FS (resonant frequency of the driver) slightly.

some high end companies like DLS from sweden, actually recommend runing only one coil on their DVC subs in sealed enclosures.

there will be no 3 dB loss, unless you're powering the sub with 1/2 the power because you're using an amp that will handle the load of both coils in parallel.
