What would happen to a DVC coil sub if you decided to only connect the one coil and use it that way?

    yes, I do hope it would make sound!! .... however, would it make sound safely and without damage to itself?

    Thanks.

    Yes.
    Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.

    Remember though that you should derate the max amp power by about 25% or so. Or just be careful with how much juice you put through them. Also your output will decrease by about 3db. You can also hook up a variable resistor to the second coil and change the Qts of the driver.

    There are two ways to argue with women. Both of them are wrong.
