Exactly. This is why you've never heard of Adire Audio, Dan Wriggens, Shiva, Tempest or Dayton. As Dave said, their overhead is almost nothing. No advertising expenses, no people behind the counter, no counter! Therefore, the prices can be so low, less than half of competing comercial subs. And, for the extra $2.50 for DVC, it allows for multiple configurations and further reduces manufacturing complexity which reduced overall costs.
I never said I have never heard of any of those companies. I have seen a shiva driver and I think everyone knows Dayton. Partexpress is where you can get most test equiptment for woofers and they sell Dayton.
I admit I am not familiar with there models, but ask them if they have a dvc, should I use just one coil and will it hurt the woofer if I do. It wont kill your woofer today, but 3 months from now when you are posting "Hey my dvc woofer with one coil hooked up died today" maybe you will remember what I said...
Using one coil would be like running a mile while breathing through a straw. Can you do it, (I cant) but most likely YES, will you die sooner YES. It is possible, we agree there, but IT will shorten a woofers life. If anyone doubts it Contact their woofer maunfacture....I don't think you can argue their rsponse.
