    Only if the final load was the same. Meaning your dvc sub would need to be dual 2 ohm if your svc was 4 ohm. But I'm also pretty sure that having 2 voicecoils as opposed to 1 affects some parameters of the speaker. it may change the sound somewhat

    The DVC is a 4 ohm, i think the SVC's are dual boxed with a 4 ohm (so they say, so iam assuming 4 ohms each right?

    two technically, but what about running the box bridged in a stereo setup, with the DVC 4 ohm wired parallel in the other steroe, Wouldnt that make the two SVC 2 ohm and the DVC 2 ohm as well?

    Eh its not a big deal, i was just thinking about experamenting and trying to figure out how to properly calculate Resistances, but ya i have dual MA 12 SVC subs in a quad ported boc and a Single MA120XE Comp DVC Slightly different subs, but same brand.

    it can work but one sub would get more power than the other two,and would probably not sound good.
