I'm trying to replace my burned Pioneers and I was looking into getting a 1 or 2 12" RF. Any suggestions? and can someone explain to me the difference of the single coil and the dual coil ? and how this affects the performance ? please !

i dont know about rockford subs but this might explain and help you make
a decision.

difference between single voice coil and dual voice coil is pretty simple.

DVC alloes you more flexibility in ohm loads using one (or more) sub(s)
so you can get more current draw from your amp. If you understand the
difference in wiring parallel and series you can achieve the desired ohm
load you want from your amplifier and get more power. more subs or coils
wired in parallel (whether they are single or dual voice coil) decreases
resistance (ohms). basically having two voice coils on one sub is like
having two subs in one (speaking from a theoretical point, not
performance). however when you have more than one sub DVC subs may not
be necessary, as wiring each sub (SVC) in parallel is like wiring a
single sub with dual voice coils into parallel. basically a lower ohm
load (ohms being a measure of electrical resistance through a conductor)
allows more current to flow freely through a conductor (less
resistance). if you are running only one sub a DVC setup is good to
achieve low ohm loads. multiple DVC subs will allow you to achieve
extremely low ohm loads and that is where you run into problems. also
when choosing between SVC and DVC consider the limitations of you
amplifier. if you cannot safely run a very low ohm load (less than 1
ohm) dont try it, you can seriously damage your equipment. hope this helps.

Effendi,

Thank a lot for your explanation, now it makes a lot more sense !!!
