HELP Alpine PDX-M12 with 2 SWR-T12

[ddog199]

Please help i am getting a system for my new truck and am getting conflicting info. I am going with 2 Alpine SWR-T12 subs and the new Alpine PDX-M12 amp. Now the question, can i run both speakers off this one amp at 4ohms at 600RMS or should i take this amp back and get two smaller PDX amps or run 2 PDX M-12's.... My main goal is to have the right set up with all Alpine equipment since im getting a deal on the alpine brand. how should i set it up.... The box is almost finished its getting painted on monday..

Thanks for your help

You will be fine with that amp. It does 1200 watts rms at a 2 or 4 ohms load.

So How do i set it up to run 600rms at 4ohms to both subs.. Since the subs are made for 4ohms at 600rms

You would have to wire them up parallel for a 2 ohms load.

I want a 4 ohm load at 600rms

I forgot it was SVC, I'm used to DVC. In that case, yes you will be fine. My bad Sleepy time...

I don't understand what you are trying to do bro. The PDX-M12 gives 1200 watts rms at a 2 ohms or a 4ohms load. Having 2 single 4 ohms voice coil woofers setup in parallel will give you a 2 ohms load. You will be fine each woofer will see 600 watts rms when wired up this way. The 1200 watts rms of the PDX-M12 is split in half, thus each woofer will still get 600 watts rms.

Isn't it better to run 4 ohms? I would like to run 2 swr-t12's at 600rms at 4 ohms off this one amp. Is it possible?

On the PDX-M12 there is only one speaker output. So you would have to "wire" the woofers together to run two on one amp.
