Best Answer

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 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.

Do the watts split if you connect more than one speaker to an amp channel?

First if you are talking about normal speaker (not subwoofer), I would not recomend doing that. There is different ways to connect multiple speaker to one amplifier chanel. You could wire it in serie or in parralel. If your are talking about dual voice coil or more than 2 speaker, there is even more possibility to wire two or more speaker to one channel. Now if you are talking about single voice coil subs, in a perfect situation, by wiring them in parralel, the wattage should not get lower but the impedence will be divided by the number of sub you hook up. You will need to make sure the amp can support a lower impedance.

How many channels do you need to power my subwoofer?

mono or two channel are the best for subs but it depends on if your sub is dual voice coil or single voice coil, what ohm load the amp can handle, and if it is single voice coil and are using one sub you need to make sure you can bridge a 2-channel amp if that's the kind you chose... Next question you ask it may help to add a bit more detail. If I knew the sub brand and model, ohms, and if it's dual or single voice coil i could help answer that much better.
