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

Dual voice coil. Impedance says 6 ohms

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

Oh and I had 2 more subs same rating same ohm and voice coil but old that I tried today wired the same. Same situation about 10 Mims of nice base and boom smoke and burnt. I'm thinking I have an amp issue. What do you guys think.

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.
