Question about Dual Voice Coil Subwoofer
I'm replacing the 12" subwoofer speaker in a Sony subwoofer unit. The
original speaker (a POS) failed, has a single voice coil, and it says 6 ohms on it. I happen to have a 12" Cerwin Vega dual voice coil subwoofer lying around. Each of the coils on the Cerwin Vega are 4 ohms. How should I hook this up in the Sony box? Is it OK to hook up just one of the coils? Will that sound OK ? Or is it necessary to hook up both coils in series ? Both in series would be 8 ohms, which is more than the original POS speaker's 6 ohms, but using a single coil would be 4 ohm, which is less. What to do? Any advice? Thanks. |

Since there's no known matching of the Thiel-Small parameters of the two woofers, this is a kluge project. Try both options and see which sounds best to you. |
