Are you not satisfied with the sound quality generated by your vehicle's audio system? Alternatively, it could be that you've considered upgrading to better equipment to enhance what sounds you're getting. In either case, adding a subwoofer to your vehicle could be just what the doctor ordered!

Subwoofers can enhance your listening experience in several ways by offering two distinct flavors: single voice coil and dual voice coil. To determine which option is most beneficial to you, it's essential to understand their distinctions.

Subwoofers, commonly referred to as subwoofers, are audio components that can be attached to your vehicle's audio system. Primary speakers often reproduce high and midrange sounds due to their higher capacity for low frequencies such as bass. Therefore, adding a subwoofer to your setup is highly recommended if you want it to cover all sounds equally. Subwoofers with single coils offer several advantages over their dual-coil counterparts.

Experience the power of a twin voice coil subwoofer that measures 12 inches in size. Not only will it deliver powerful audio from your subwoofer, but it will give your ears a ringing sensation and shake the windows of your automobile as well. Any sound system would benefit greatly with these extra coils added.

For truly loud bass sound with these speakers, you will need to turn up the volume all the way. Their maximum power handling capacity of 1200 watts stems from their design that made them resistant to extreme forces.

For optimal sound quality, opt for a subwoofer with an extended frequency response.

Due to the higher number of turns on each voice coil, subwoofers with dual voice coils and a size of 18 inches offer superior frequency response compared to their single-coil counterparts. This is because instead of just having one wrapped and entangled voice coil, there are actually two involved. Due to this double layer setup, subwoofers with dual voice coils produce superior sound quality.

On a single voice coil subwoofer, there is only one set of terminals attached to the magnetic wire, and its impedance ranges from 1 ohm to 4 ohm depending on the model. If you wire a DVC subwoofer in parallel instead of series, you will experience different impedance than one that uses its pairs in series since parallel wiring uses more wire than series does; consequently, when purchasing from DVC you won't just receive one set of connection options; you'll get two distinct sets instead!

When wiring your subwoofers with DVC wiring, you have the choice to connect them either in series or parallel, depending on each subwoofer's impedance and power requirements. Homeowners within this network enjoy a certain degree of exclusivity that other people do not enjoy. Soon you may have more capacity for adding components like extra amplifiers or subwoofers; alternatively, you could modify it so it can accept an increased number of amplifiers.

Consider factors such as:

Make sure the impedance of your amplifier matches that of the one already installed.

Subwoofers with dual 12 inch voice coils feature two magnetic wire coils connected together, creating sound free of distortion.

Each voice coil measures 12 inches wide.

Subwoofers with a single voice coil typically perform quite well, however this twin voice coil model offers greater power output due to its additional two sets of terminals that connect together. Both sets share the same power supply, enabling them to run simultaneously. Furthermore, these additional terminals may be joined together in the amplifier itself to form one larger voice coil.

Due to this, it's an ideal component for bridged two-channel amplifiers as well as multiple channel amplifiers with varying load impedances. Power amplifiers can also benefit from using this component by selecting speaker models with several voice coil terminal pairs in 1 ohm, 2 ohm or 4 ohm varieties instead of just one as this component does. This provides more wiring options than when using just one voice coil like this one does - an advantage over devices that only provide one.

When using multi-channel amplifiers with more than one subwoofer, pairing a dual voice coil subwoofers with a vehicle amplifier that cannot bridge two channels, adding an additional amplifier later, or combining any of these potential scenarios, low impedance wiring is an absolute requirement. There are no other circumstances in which installing low impedance wire would be beneficial other than this specific scenario.

Additionally, this increases the power handling capabilities of an amplifier installed in a car. Depending on how many subwoofers are connected to one amplifier channel and their individual voice coil wire layouts, this could either increase its output or capacity.

Extended coverage under Cones' warranty

Customers who purchased the Solo-Baric(r) L7T 12-inch dual voice coil subwoofer from an authorized dealer are covered by a 2-year limited warranty that was included when purchased. Customers are entitled to free replacement if a manufacturing error occurs within this warranty period; however, this guarantee only applies in the continental United States and its territories.

Sundown Audio's warranty would not cover any actions taken that were inconsistent with the specifications listed on its packaging. Furthermore, any modifications or repairs to the speaker must first receive approval from Sundown Audio before being accepted; should such requirements be imposed, Sundown Audio would not make accommodations.

Single Voice Coil Versus Dual Voice Coil

Voice coils are essential elements in sound reproduction and must be included in every speaker and subwoofer. As electric current passes through a coil, it creates a magnetic field as the result of its interaction with another component.

Finally, this field interacts with magnets inside a speaker cone, causing it to move and produce sound waves.

When purchasing a subwoofer, you have the choice between Single Voice Coil (SVC) or Dual Voice Coil (DVC) configuration. The major distinction is that DVC subs are offered in more wire configurations than standard subs; these include but are not limited to:

By connecting your subwoofers in parallel, your amplifier can supply more current.

How should I connect the wiring for my subwoofer?

Thanks to your amplifier's multiple channels, series wiring allows for the connection of multiple amplifiers into a single channel while still keeping impedance levels within acceptable limits. This is made possible by the fact that your amp has multiple inputs.

By connecting each voice coil to its own channel on your amplifier, you will gain quick access to various settings for the audio system. Many new amplifiers already come equipped with this capability for added convenience.

This subwoofer's long-lasting polypropylene cone and lightweight honeycomb diaphragm boast high degrees of flexural stiffness, contributing to its superior sound quality. Furthermore, this feature increases the longevity of the subwoofer as a whole.

Parallel wiring is the most widely used method for wiring audio equipment. When shopping for new gear, knowing that any voice coil subwoofer with a resistance of 4 ohms will receive maximum power from your amplifier can give you peace of mind.

Due to each voice coil subwoofer having its own resistance, connecting both coils in parallel places a load of 2 ohms on the amplifier. As such, it can produce higher power while showing lower impedance due to this increased load.
