Does it make a difference what you get as far as Dual Voice Coil or single? Are duals louder? What are the advantages/disadvantages

advantages is that you can wire them in different configerations to get more pwr out of the amp.
Dis-advantages-you can wire them in different configerations ....
DO NOT WIRE JUST ONE COIL OF A DVC SUB!!!!!!!!!

basicaly you can wire every DVC sub into 2 differnt ohmage louds. mattering what amp you have you want to match the subs to that.
however if a speaker was SVC and aidentical speaker was DVC same power handling they should be the same loudness.
just a way to get more wiring configurations out of it.

Yep, DVC's are pretty much the same sound as an SVC sub. Just gives us more wiring options to match subs to amps and visa-versa.
It is good to know what amp you wish to use, then choose the sub style that gives the optimal power from that amp by load resistance. Typical 2 channel amps can be used in stereo or bridged to MONO. To get the most from these amps, you need a 4 ohm net load to amp.
1 Sub.... 4 ohms SVC or a 2+2 ohm DVC
2 Subs... a pair if 4+4 DVC are best
Class D or T Mono amps, depends on the brand and model. Some do a 2 ohm load fine. A few will do 1 ohm loads and offer more power than at 2 ohms. Can give you more details as you determine the amp of choice.
