This is kind of a stupid question.  I just got a cheap sub off ebay, it is a c4 california series.  It says it is a 2 layer duel voice coil.   I took it out of the box and there is only speaker hook terminal.  All the other dvc subs I have had had 2.  My question is it a dvc and it is just pre wired inside, or is it some messed up wording to mislead the consumer.  I know the sub is crap, but I am broke and need something.  Thanks for any help you can give.

I have never seen a dvc prewired. Get a multimeter and check the ohms load.

A "2-layer" voice coil is not the same as a dual voice coil.  If it has only one set of terminals it is a single voice coil speaker.

So what exactly is a "2 layer" voice coil?? Is it just another marketing gimmick or what?

"2-layer" voice coil means the wires are wound in two layers.  It is a construction technique and supposedly produces a voice coil that can handle more heat but it is really meaningless to the end user.

So norcal, what brand and model is that subwoofer?

That's a definate flea-market special.  Best if used as a paperweight.

If it only has one set of terminals it is a SVC woofer.  Write to the ebay seller and ask for your money back since it is not a dual voice coil as advertised.  Make them pay for the return shipping.  If they refuse, report them to eBay as a fradulent seller and if you paid using PayPal file for your money back with them due to fraud.  Good luck.

That was what I thought.  The box even says the same thing, I didn't want to send a message if I was wrong.   It is a messed up way of advertising.  Thanks for the info guys
