This can be obtained with 2 single voice coils that are 8 ohm each or with 2 dvc that are 4 ohm each. The dvc would be wired like this <a href=http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/wiring/images/2dvcseries.gif>http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/wiring/images/2dvcseries.gif</a> and the svc like this <a href=http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/wiring/images/2svc.gif>http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/wiring/images/2svc.gif</a> Right?? Just making sure I havent lost my mind.

As far as impedances are concerned, a dual voice coil sub is the same as 2 single coil subs. Parallel-wiring two 8 ohm loads results in a 4 ohm load. Parallel-wiring two 4 ohm loads results in a 2 ohm load. Series wiring will make an addative load. So, if you wire a pair of subs like shown in the first JL picture, you'll get a single 4 ohm load if each coil is 4 ohms.
