| I have a question about wiring an orion hcca 10 2, can you wire both coils to one amp on different channels, right now I am mixing home audio with car audio, my amp is home audio stable from 2-16 ohms, I had my amp wired to just one voice coil off 2 speaker and I just read on the internet that you have to wire both voice coils or you can damage your speakers is this true? I am only running one speaker off my amp right now and I wired each channel to a voice coil and it seems to hit harder than when I had 2 speakers hooked up, is this ok? my amp never clips or sounds distorted or anything and has all the latest protection circuitry and nothing suggestes that something might be wrong, my amp is a cr*wn xti 4000. Thanks In Advance

Not true, the pole in the speaker will still move the same even with just one voice coil connected.

Sounds like you just have one voice coil connected to the same amp, if that is the case you should be fine as well because of the quality of the amp that you are using. My biggest concern would be the total wattage that he sub is getting for the purpose of longevity, 1500 watts is ideal.

| i run car subs off of my dj system and i use crown and ashley p.a amps stuff for the same reason u do. ALWAYS connect BOTH coils of a single speaker, why!? because u aren't getting what you paid for in the sense of that the single coil has to carry the load of the speaker AND the other coil . speakers weren't made to do that and u are loosing power doing so.. even so thin about it this way if me and you are outside in the woods and i break my leg , you would have to carry me to safety. thats what that unconnected coil is doing to the speaker its just excess weight on the speaker and u have to use more power to move the speaker to get it to do the same thing also ..
