Alpine 4ohm Subs

[99vic]

i have my dual 4 ohm 15" alpine type r subs i had a person tell me they cant be wired at 1 ohm i called alpines tech support the guy there told me i couldnt drop them to 1 ohm only a 2ohm load. i got a dmm touched the leads to the wire it read 1.2 on both subs. is there something wrong? each coil is - to - +to+ and 1 wire from each coil then both subs connected together at the amp.

i always thought you could wire D4s to 1ohm and then D1 can be too

i hope because if not that means my subs are messed up right? they still pound hard. even harder with my eq in

idk i guess if there hittin then i would think there fine......but hey this wireing stuff is my weakest point in the audio world! so idk for sure but....like i said i always thought D1 and D4 could be wired to 1ohm so........

Do you have 2 or 1 Dual 4-Ohm Alpine Type-R?

If you have 2 of the woofers it is possible to obtain a 1-Ohm load.

If you have just 1 you can't.

nope your safe.

the Alpine guy probably thought you had only one D4, which is net 2ohm or 8ohm
