lowriderman22 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Posted October 16, 2013 I'm looking to buy the Alpine MRX-M100 monoblock amp and want to know how I would get 500 watts to each Alpine Type-S 12" subs? Should I buy the 4 ohm and wire it to 2 ohms? Thanks!
ham4864 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Posted October 16, 2013 reading what pioneer has wrote it is only 2ohm stable. So you can wire 2 dual 2ohm woofers for a final 2ohm load. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard.asp?submitted=true&woofer_qty=2&woofer_imp=3 2009 bmw 5 series Head Unit Stock Amplifier-JL Audio JX 360/4 Processor- Audiocontrol LC6
thefourth Posted October 16, 2013 Report Posted October 16, 2013 (2) 2 ohm woofers, wired to 2 ohms will get you 500 watts per woofer Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do thatI can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream. oh lawd.

Vi sound Posted October 16, 2013 Report Posted October 16, 2013 Or you can get two 4ohms 500 watts and wired it at 1ohm and get the full 1000watts out of the amp
poorfish88 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Posted October 16, 2013 Or you can get two 4ohms 500 watts and wired it at 1ohm and get the full 1000watts out of the amp The Alpine he's going to run is only 2ohm stable.. So 2 dual 2ohms subs is the way to get the most power out of the amp. Without voiding the warranty.
lowriderman22 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Posted October 16, 2013 Alright and what box should I get?
poorfish88 Posted October 16, 2013 Report Posted October 16, 2013 You need to make your own box... It's not hard to do, you don't want any prefab stuff. Download the Torres Box Calc on this site, and design your own box. Are you still with me? Left a word out
