LOL, Yeah I thought about running it with one coil but that will be up to him. I'm just going to tell him the speaker is done. I was trying to make sure he had everything hooked up correctly because I just repaired his amp and don't want him to blow it again.

Yeah what I was going to do was wire the coils on each speaker in series which gives me 4 ohms and then the 2 speakers in parallel to get a final of 2 ohms.

Thank yall both for the help. I never really fooled with the dual voice coil speakers before and just wanted to make sure that its actually 2 separate coils and I wasnt missing anything. I will tell him that this speaker is done. I can repair electronics but like I said I haven't messed with...

ok so my 2 coils are definately shorted together. I just wanted to make sure.

Exactly what I did. They test fine each one by itself but if its a 2 ohm coil then wiring them up in series you should get 4 ohms which I could never get so I decided to check across the 2 coils and they are shorted together

I am not talking about the individual coils. They test fine across each of them. I was talkin about from coil to coil. Shouldn't be low ohms.

I get 3 ohms from positive of 1 coil to positive of the other. I get .8 ohms from negative to negative

Never thought about checking for wire strands. This is a friends speakers. I repaired his amp that was blown and I'm hooking up the 2 subs in parallel to get 2 ohms but I couldn't get the 4 ohms out of that 1 speaker. The other speaker is fine though. I will go check now for wire strands but I...

The 2 coils are measuring 1.8 ohms across them like they are touching

On a dual voice coil sub, each coil should be separate, correct? I have a dual voice coil sub with dual 2 ohm voice coils. They each measure fine separately. If I measure across the 2 voice coils, I get very low ohms ( short) like they are connected together. This doesn't seem normal to me. The...
