I want to use two identical DVC woofers in a single plate amp powered sealed sub enclosure. Each of the voice coils is rated at 2 ohms. If I configure things symmetrically I can get;
0.5 ohms (everything parallel)
2 ohms (coils series and woofer parallel or vice versa)
8 ohms (everything series)
The amp isn't rated for less than 4 ohms. At 8 ohms I leave some power on the table I think.
My question is what would the impact be if I were to wire one woofer's VCs in series, one woofer's VC in parallel and the two woofers in series?
I do not have the experience to guess at the outcome.
What impedance would the amp see?
How would having one woofer running at 1/4 the impedance of the other impact power handling?
If the parallel VC woofer would push more air at a lower power level, would the other woofer's cone travel stop?
I profess total ignorance, and am rather curious.
