The subwoofer I will receive shortly is a SI HT18 D2. Being a dual voice coil subwoofer, I will have the option of running it (1) with the amp bridged off to 4 ohms, or (2) with each voice coil running off a separate channel at 2 ohms.
I would appreciate your thoughts on the relative merits of each approach and whether one would provide superior results over the other.
Regards.

I've run my DVC sub both ways bridged and stereo and I found no noticable difference. The sub is a Rockford Fosgate RFR3112 and a Crown K2 pushing it.
I've heard that bridging would be a better current source but I can't say why.
Maybe someone else can explain more about this. I sure would like to know myself.
Raw calculation suggests that it has an identical result...
On the other hand I think a small difference between the two channels will have a negative effect on the outcome when using the channels separately.
So I would choose bridging anyway.

Max power drawn to the sub will be achieved by the amp in bridge and subs coils in parallel mono , you will need to ensure amp does not clip by beefing up ure power supply , you will need additional alternator , atleast 3. 200 ah battery and capacitors along with real 12 mm dia copper wire
There are faults in that PDF.
It says that 3 8Ω speakers result in a 2Ω load
that should be 2.67Ω
4 8Ω drivers result in 2Ω
And hunter audio, that's all fine in theory where the amp has no limitations on current or load, but in the real world there are a lot of amps that would die.
and "12 mm dia copper wire" ... *sigh...

Bummer! 🙁 Thanks for proofreading it. As old as it is, I'm surprised it's never been corrected. Unfortunately, the business has no email address listed, so hopefully someone reading this lives in the [503] area code and will call them about it: http://www.outrageousaudio.com/contact_us.php
