This method of wiring is the most common for DVC wiring. For our dual 8-ohm voice coil
drivers, it results in a nominal 4-ohm load (parallel connecting voice coils of the same
impedance results in half the impedance of either voice coil). This maximizes the output of
our home plate amps, and also produces and impedance compatible with most car stereo
equipment.
The other method of connecting DVC drivers is to wire the voice coils in series. This means
connecting from the amp to the input of one voice coil, from the output of that voice coil to
the input of the other voice coil, then from the output of the second voice coil back to the
amp:
This method of wiring is not as widely used as the parallel case. For our dual 8-ohm voice
coil drivers, it results in a nominal 16-ohm load (series connecting voice coils results in the
sum of the impedances of all voice coils). This means of wiring is often used when wiring
DVC drivers for use in large arrays, or in prosound applications (where 16 ohm loads are
widely used).
