i have two 4ohm alpine type e's
and i want to wire them to 2ohms each
is this possible?.. and if yes, how?

thankss! PDthree

ok thanks.. is that safe to do?

 

If your amp is 2 ohm mono stable. As for getting 2 ohms each to run in stereo, it never going to happen because the Type E subs are single voice coil!

 

what do u mean run in stereo?..
put it this way my amp is the alpine Alpine MRP-M650

i want to run 600 watts rms x 1 at 2 ohms
so i will get 300 watts to each sub. is that possible?

 

You said "2ohms each" in your original question and that will never happen. Now two single four ohm voice coil subwoofers can be wired for 2 ohms mono OR 8 ohms mono. Any monoblock amplifier that you connect the two subwoofers will only see the final load!

For example, the MRP-650 will deliver 600 watts into a 2 ohm load, which means that each subwoofer should get 300 watts. The amplifier doesn't care how many subwoofers you connect to it as long as you keep the final impedance load at 2 ohms or greater!

 

This setup will work OK. Wire the subs in parallel to your amp and they will get 300 watts each.

It's just not "2 ohms each", they are always going to be 4 ohms each but wired in parallel the whole combination is two ohms. The amplifier outputs 600 watts into 2 ohms. This power will split evenly between the two subs (assuming they are in the same box, or two identical boxes, so they have the same acoustic load).

Also your amp is mono so you won't be running in stereo.

 

ok great!
i can always count on everyone here
thats all i wanted to hear is that i can get 300 watts per sub
PERFECTTTTT
