Subs/Amp
 

Im lookin into buyin two 12" Alpine type-r subs (dual voice coil 4ohm+4ohm) and i need sum suggestions on a decent amp to get the best outta these woofers. Also can anyone explain how i would wire it to make the most outta it. Paralell or series? Thanks lots.

MTX makes awesome amps but expect to pay a lot for them. Same thing goes with Infinity. My advice... you get what you pay for. Spend the money on a good amp.
Now...
If you wire + to + and - to - the sub will run at 2 Ohms
If you wire + to - and + to - the sub will run at 8 Ohms

Make damn sure the amp you buy can work at 2 Ohms or you'll blow it. Hope this helps.

RE: Subs/Amp
 

wire them in series and get a 2 ohm stable class D amp. That will hit hard. This way when u run them in series ull get a 2 ohm load, and the amp will be doing all it possibly can.

or read...

He is getting two DVC 4ohm subs, so he needs a 1ohm stable amp. My suggestions are Hifonics Titan 1605, Orion 1200d, DEI 1100d,Kicker 1200.1

RE: Subs/Amp
 

If i do + to + and - to - wont i get 4ohm? *Diagram attatched* The speakers are 300 watts RMS each so does that mean i need an amp that puts out around 600 RMS? How would this amp do. Its a visonik heres the specs:

V217SX
800 Watt 2 Channel
Amplifier
Variable Crossover:
LPF, FLAT, HPF
50Hz - 250Hz Low Pass Filter
50Hz - 250Hz High Pass Filter
High Level Input

2 x 180W Rms @ 4Ω Stereo
2 x 250W Rms @ 2Ω Stereo
1 x 800W Max @ 4Ω Bridged

Fuse Rating: 25A x 2
Dimensions (H x W x L):
2" x 9.6" x 11.9"

Thanks again 4 help.

RE: Subs/Amp
 

What year type rs? The new ones are 700-1000 watts IIRC

RE: Subs/Amp
 

there the new ones.. sorry there 500 watts RMS and 1000 Peak. Wow those amps are expensive. So is there any cheaper way to do it or should i jus look into different subs with less RMS cuz more watts=needs better amp. Thanks

RE: Subs/Amp
 

Alright last ?... If i get the two Alpine 12" type r subs which put out 500 RMS each so 1000 total rms and 3000 peak. i can wire them in series to run 1ohm with a brutus bx1000d which put out 1000 watts RMS @ 1 ohm. Would that system be a good set up? Thanks again. Sorry 4 all the ?'s.

u go + t= + and - to - and you will rn at 4..

3 words for you....Alpine,apline, apline.. if u have alpine deck,v- amp and alpine subs..u will have a system then knows each other...

if you want something different still..then go with PG, or Directed..both make very good amps.

dont go MTX

RE: Subs/Amp
 

Heres a diagram off of a quick-start guide from my infinity amp. It shows that + to + will run at 2 ohms.
