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.

 

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.

 

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.

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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