Can you replace a dual voice coil speaker with a single coil and how do you wire it?

If you are going to replace a dual with a single you need to look up bridging it would be some thing like "{Right +}{Left -}

These are single voice coil. All JL Audio woofers are single voice coil except W6 and the 13w7. ?

How do you wire Voice coil?
Unless you are an electrician, I would not attempt it, you will need a special tool do wrap it around the axle (The post in which the voice coil moves up and down on). Either have a tech do it for you, or replace the speaker.
What is a voice coil?
a voice coil is the electromagnet that causes a speaker horn to move in response to the electrical impulses received from the amplifier.
How can a speaker work with holes in it?
It can work, but it will not sound good. Any deformations of the cone will "color" the sound, which will sound muddy and not clear. Eventually the speaker will die due to the voice coil dragging in the magnet because the speaker isn't moving correctly. If you have a speaker with a hole in it you should replace it.
How does a speaker work in a circuit?
They will either pull in or push out depending on the polarity of the DC voltage and remain stationary. This is a bad idea as the DC resistance of the voice coil is much less than the AC impedance of the voice coil and it is possible to overheat and burn out the voice coil due to the much higher current the DC voltage can produce in the voice coil compared to the AC voltage that would drive the voice coil in normal operation.
Why does a speaker need an electromagnet not a permanent magnet?
One of the main kinds of speakers needs both. Sound in the form of varying electricity is fed through part of the speaker known as the 'voice coil' which is actually just an electromagnet. Since the electricity in it is varying the magnetism produced by this coil varies too. The voice coil is placed close to a permanent magnet and the voice coil is permitted to move back and forth in response to the electricity going through it. A big cone is fastened to the voice coil to transmit the movements of the voice coil to the air more efficiently. Thus overall the permanent magnet and the electromagnet work together to produce the sound waves that we hear from a speaker. For a more detailed explanation go to the How Stuff Works web site and search for speaker.
What type of microphone is most similar to a speaker?
A dynamic microphone is most similar to a speaker. They both consist of a diaphragm, a voice coil and a magnet.
Will using one coil on a dual coil speaker damage it?
with only one coil hooked up, a dual voice coil speaker will suffer a loss in reference efficiency of about 3dB (only half the coil windings are being energized) as well as a significant shift in its Thiele/Small parameters. This renders any enclosure calculations inaccurate unless you remeasure the speakers parameters with only one coil hooked up. Failure to account for the different parameters of a dual voice coil speaker with only one coil powered can result in very poor performance.
What is the part of a loudspeaker that vibrates to make sound?
a speaker uses a voice coil a coil copper wire and a magnet and pole to vibrate a cone
How do you wire monoblock amp to one single voice coil sub?
Unless you have some kind of different set up or amp, a monoblock amp should have just 2 terminals. A positive and a negative. Your single voice coil should also only have 2 terminals, a positive and a negative. If this is your setup, just connect positive to positive and negative to negative. It's that simple. If you have a dual voice coil there is more involved regarding ohms (resistance) but in a mono to single v/c, it's pretty straight forward. You might also check the amps on the monoblock vs the speaker. Your monoblock will probably be either 2 or 4 ohms. Your speaker could be 2, 4 or 8. If your speaker is 4 ohms then a 2 or 4 ohm output from the monoblock will work. If you have any other combination, do more research.
How does the voice coil interacts with the magnet on the very bottom of the speaker?
The magnet is permanent, and the voice coil magnetism alternates with the current, pushing the cone outward against the magnet or pulling it inward towards the magnet as the current changes direction.
What does the term dual voice coil mean in regards to car audio speakers?
AnswerDual Voice Coil in regards to subwoofers means there is 2 positives and 2 negatives. Its just used to wire up different ohm levels. Like if u have a subwoofer that are dual voice coil @ 4 ohms then u can parallel or series wire it to become Single Voice Coil @ 2 ohms. Google the word Series Wiring or Parallel Wiring for examplesAlso this type of speaker is one of the few that can be connected to 2 different amplifiers at the same time and still work properly. One coil is connected to the car stereo and the other coil is connecter to my scanner.
