hello there,

after searching and reading alot of information, I feel even more confused then when I started.. I need to know if you can make a pair of dual voice coil 2/8 ohm speakers to both be 4ohm.. I am trying to bridge an orion xtr175 at 4 ohms..

I went to fosgate website and the only way the chart said I could do this is from 4 dvc speakers... so I was just wondering instead of having to buy 2 more speakers or another amp... thanks for any input...

No, you can not wire two DVC woofers @ 8 ohms per voice coil in a 4 ohm load. You can wire them in 2, 8, or 32 ohms.

You're welcome, glad I could help.

If you ever need to determine resistance values of multiple speakers, you can always use these calculators: https://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/boxcalcs.asp#par
