It's really just for flexibility. With two voice coils per sub you have many more wiring options, especially with two or more subs. Each voice coil and speaker can be run in either series or parallel with the next, allowing you a wide variety of total ohm loads.
Edit: attempt at clarity...

doesn't is also allow for, if you have an amp with 2 sets of speaker leads for a sub, you can plug in both sets to the SAME speaker, effectivly decreasing the impedence (Ohms) and increasing the power?!?!

It also adds some complications: Wiring a 4ohm DVC sub down to 2ohm and running it on a bridged amp effectively makes it a 1ohm load, which will nuke most mass market amps. In a situation like this, it would be better to use either a dual 2ohm wired to 4ohm on the bridged amp, or use the dual 4ohm wired to 2 on a monoblock amplifier. It is not a good idea to run each coil of a DVC sub on a separate channel. The subtle differences in each channel of the amp can add more strain on the motor structure and can actually decrease output due to the coils fighting each other a little bit. Always run a DVC sub on the same channel of the amplifier.

didn't know that, thanks
