Subwoofer Wiring Wizard
This subwoofer wiring application includes diagrams for Single Voice Coil (SVC) and Dual Voice Coil (DVC) speakers.
A SVC speaker has one voice coil and one set of terminals, one positive (+) and one negative (-).
A DVC speaker has two voice coils, each with its own set of terminals. Because of this,
DVC speakers (typically subwoofers) offer more wiring options than SVC speakers.
