dvc only one vc working?
i read my RF today and it came up as 2.5 ohms one side, and 0 the other. does that mean my one side is screwed? what can i do besides recone? can i run one coil? prolly not. thanx in advance...

Check to see if the tinsel leads are intact on the blown side. If one of them is broken you may be able to rig up a fix. If they aren't the problem, then just run the other voicecoil. If and when that one gives out, then recone or get a new sub.

Will you be able to deliver that power with the new ohm load the sub will present? I'd say go ahead and give it what you can. The debate rages on about whether running a DVC sub on one coil makes a difference or not, but I think the only disadvantage you'll have is no more flexibility for wiring at different loads.

im still kinda wondering about this, any one else have an opinion on this matter? i have a recone for the sub so thats not really the issue, was just wondering what is supposed to happen? You have one coil, right? SVC has one lead into that coil? DVC has two leads into that coil? would that mean that you CAN run one coil and the tinsel leads just cant support the power of two? Im trying to master my nooBix cube.... lol
and i just noticed this, i live like 20 minutes away from you worldind. in devon, just south of edmonton. got any stuff fer sale locally? lol, gotta ask......

let me guess. the sub was a dual 2 ? u ran the amp at 1 ohm?
yah u can run just the one coil, it will get half the power cuz now your sub is just a 2 ohm sub. nothing bad will happen, it will be exactly half as loud and in the end it will blow, not because its only one coil but because of distortion when you keep crankin it tryin to get it to be as loud as before (which wont happen no matter what you do).
so you can either have it reconed, or you can use your amp at 2 ohm and get half the power out of it.
