why do you need to use both coils on the dvc subs? i think that makes your wiring diagram overly complicated.. i really think you should just wire the 4 in 2 parallel 8 ohm sets, for a final load of about 4 ohms, depending on actual measured coil resistance(very important-- just because the box says it's a 4 ohm sub, the coil can still read 3.4 ohms).

be aware that with every drop in resistance, the sensitivity of the subs drop as well.. so an 8 ohm setup will have better clarity/sensitivity then a 4 ohm setup, and so on.

it is exactly like the 86's are with horsepower. an 8 ohm setup is like the 86-- where the wattage/horsepower is lower, but the platform is more sensitive to lesser horsepower.

where a 2 ohm setup is like a 400 horsepower mustang--sure on paper it's got more power--which is great for bragging rights and all, but it also weighs a lot more, which makes it not as quick and accurate.


also, you don't list model numbers, but running 2 different types of subs can be detrimental to each other-- the specs will be slightly different(assuming you used all teh same stuff, just the difference in moving mass could affect this), so it's very possible that you'll end up with them canceling each other out at specific frequencies. sure it might be loud at 30hz, but then 32 hz might not be audible at all...
