hey guys
i just received my 2 alpine type R 10" 4ohm subs today, and i would like to know how can i wire them into a 2 ohm load. both with one jumpering the terminals and using 2 subs off 1 amp. is it possible the guide they sent me with them has only a 4 ohm loan and a 1 ohm load? and if not possible, can u make it a 1 ohm load when the amp does not have a 1 ohm setting? or am i just on crack all together>? --------------------  |

Sounds like you have two SVC subs at 4 ohms each. If that's the case you'd need to wire them up in parallel and run your amp bridged.

Depends on the subs. you don't really want to get low powered subs and hook it up to high powered ones. you'd really want to match the subs with the amp. One way you could do it is by going to the manufacturer's website. They should have a chart or a diagram that shows where the sub will be rated with the amp as underpowered sub or most efficient or over ampage is not a good idea, something like that.

You need to find an amp thats 1ohm stable, or you can just run most amps at 4ohm, but providing less power. Amps that can comfortably handle 1 ohm arent that common, im sure theres a few, buyt 2ohm stable are surely much more common, and cheaper.
If you see an amp thats 2000W, more than likely this is the peak rating. Theres no problem with powering a speaker with an amp that has more juice than the sub can handle, allows the amp to run easier, and with more headroom, just make sure you dont overpower the sub. (having a 1000W rms amp doesnt mean its always putting out 1000W) |
