We need more info on the coils. How many ohms do the coils have? If your not sure, check on the magnet, sometimes it lists the coil configuration on it. Otherwise, give us the make/model of the subs.

as I search a little bit on the pioneer site I found that

Quote:
TS-W306DVC provides two voice coils, each at 4 ohms. This design offers you the flexibility of turning the TS-W306DVC into either a 2-ohm sub (voice coils connected in parallel) or an 8-ohm sub (connected in a series). So you can use a low-impedance amp to produce much bigger, much more powerful bass. More options, more power: that's what DVC is all about.
so what I should look it how the 2 coil are connect?!

If one was a single 4ohm and the other was a dual 2 you would be alright... or vice versa... (also depending on amp)

But it sounds like you got a single 4ohm and a dual 4ohm.......... thats really not what you want since one sub will always see 2x the power as the other one.....
