How many voice coils on each of the drivers? What is the impedance of said voice coils?

There are 3 images on the following link. The middle one is the best option for you. DO NOT USE THE TOP IMAGE.

So I wired then up like the middle one yesterday and my right sub froze and started smoking. Took it out and the right side above the mag was burnt out. Any thoughts

There is not a problem with your amp. Buy some good speakers.

Are you being serious or your just not into audiobahns. I have used them in the past with no issues. What would you recommend.
