dvc alum12x help please...

i got my alum12x from ebay today, anc i can't get it to sound right runnning bot voice coils parallel in briged mode on my amp. but when i hook up each voice coil to each channel on the amp it sounds right but has no jam, where they are 6ohm voice coils.

why question is how exactly do i wire the dvc in parallel? i know it is supposed to be +to+ and -to- but i can't get it to sound right.. any ideas???

channel per channel dont work too good because each voice coil is going to be fighting over what is played through the left or right channel and cancel each other out...

the best way to go is www.rockfordfosgate.com, and go to RFTech and go to the wiring wizard, its godlike!

they have a good setup, please give us reviews on that, i almost ran them till i got this....



you do not have to run it DVC tho, just be aware, dvc is for ease of installing when you have multiple ones, try jsut using one set of connections, like,, one side pos neg.


later bro.

are you suggesting to just use one coil?? cause that will ruin the sub.

it sounds like hes suggesting using positive from one coil, and negative from one coil, kinda like bridging the coils. Would that work or not?? Ive never heard of that before?
