2ohm dvc sub

I just purchased these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300087409760&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=020

Not thinking right, I read the item description and in there it said dual 4 ohms...now I find myself reading it's dual 2 ohms.

I have two amps, and each sub will run off of one amp. However, the amp (profile ha700m or something like that), isn't 1ohm stable, but is 2ohm stable so if I hooked up a sub to an amp with both coils, it would be unstable...

My question is, can I just use one voice coil? Or is there something else I can do? Or am I pretty much screwed here...

do NOT connect just one of the voice coils

Ok, so if I have to connect both voice coils, anyway to keep the load at just 2 ohms? Or should I get in contact with the guy and ask him I really meant to buy his 4 ohm dvc subs and hope he cooperates...

Gah, I'm not sure what to do now. Dual 2 ohms makes you think it'll run at 1 ohm, but then:

It says the ohm rating is 2 ohms for the D2 and 4 ohms for the D4.

I'm so confused right now :\, can anyone chime in quickly so I can contact the seller in a timely manner if need be?

Can this sub, on its own, run at 2 ohms?

just run each sub at 4 ohm hook one positive and one negative up on one side using both post and you will have 1 positive and 1 negative to hook to the amp

I wanted them to run at 2 ohm so more power can get to it. I'll just contact the seller and ask if he can ship the 4 ohm dvc version instead.

You can bridge the amp to 4-ohm if you wire each sub up in series, therefore getting the most power out of the amp. By the way this would be one sub per amp.

But the amp is 2-ohm stable...am I missing something?

Two amps, 200w@4ohms and 350w@2ohms, each amp powers one sub...

BRIDGED @ 4 OHMS. In series wiring.

i'm confused as to what version that sub is. the listing says:
# 12" Dual 2 ohms Subwoofer
# Impedance: 2 or 8 ohms
# Dual 4 ohm Voice Coils
# 2 ohm Dual Voice Coil Wiring

so what is it dual 2 or dual 4?

It's dual 2 ohms. Each coil is 2 ohm, they screwed their listing.

pimprolla, this is the amp: http://cgi.ebay.com/Profile-HA700M-700-Watt-Mono-Subwoofer-sub-Car-Amp-NEW_W0QQitemZ110099815984QQcategoryZ18797QQssPageN ameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

It's mono, and only has a +/- terminal. How do you bridge a mono amp, and how is 4 ohms bridged more power than 2 ohms? Could you please explain that? Thanks.

a mono amp that is not 1 ohm stable? lol.
you can't bridge a mono amp, you will have to run it at 4 ohms.
a multi channel amp would combine the power of two channels into one channel to deliver roughly twice the power. if the amp was 2 ohm stereo stable and you bridged it with a 4 ohm sub, each channel would see 2 ohms.

oh, and if they screwed up their listing, causing you to buy the wrong product, they should switch the product or give you a refund.

Yeah, I would file a SNAD in a heartbeat if they don't fix the problem. I'll just flat out refuse the product so I don't have to pay return shipping :)

Sorry i thought you said 2-ch amp, sorry. Yeah id make sure they can send you a set of dvc 4 ohm subs. If you bridge a 2-channel amp you essentially make it a mono amp, but profiles are only stable to 4-ohm bridged. Mono amps are stable at either 2/4ohms. Contact them asap and if they havent sent them out then you have a good chance. If they have look at there return/exhcange policy.

Just wanted to let everyone know this person switched the subs on my order, per my request, with no hassle. So I'm no longer in a dilemma :)

i have a question.
if i were to buy 2 kicker L5 1500 watt max subs
and each sub comes in either dual 2 ohms or dual 4 ohms.
which subs do i need to buy to be able to use one amplifier(i am looking at a Boss amp that can go down to rms 1/2 ohm @ 2000wx2 or 1ohm @ 1500wx2 )

i am new to this subject so if you can give me a brief description of the whole ohms thing that would be great

if you bought 2 of the dual 2 ohm subs and wired all of the vc's in parallel, it would be a 1/2 ohm load
