those are steps in the right direction.

I never saw dual voice-coils as much help. all they're good at is helping lower the impedence, which would be good if you ran one sub. and like I said, the lower the impedence, the more power that makes it to the subs, the louder/stronger they sound, which is why they won't sound as good once you unplug the wire. but they won't over-heat your amp anymore....

the subs I currently run are single voice-coil (alpine type-e's, nothing fancy). they get the job done.
