I am no expert but with dual voice coils you have a few more wiring options, in order to get the most power out of you amp.

When you have dual voice coils,it allows you to run you speakers at different ohms. The else ohms, the more power it will draw from your amp. Ex. Most woofers have dual 4 ohm voice coils, if you use both voice coils = your speaker is running at 2 ohm. (JLW6 is dual 6 ohms)

Translation= your amp pushes 200 watt at 4 ohm, and 400watt at 2 ohms.
