Kurt439 Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 I Purchased a Rockford FosGate R500x years ago had a Kicker Subwoofer Don't remember the model number, Sold the sub an Kepted the amp. I decided get back in the audio world "Noob" Found a guy selling a Alpine R-W10D2, Guy had it Labeled as R-W10D4 600RMS. I didn't research it "NooB", I went to his home he had Put it in a box tested it Sounded Amazing!. Now I'm Stuck with a Sub I can't Fully use since I'm limited too 4Ohms Since my amp isn't stable at 1Ohm. Nothing I can do now right but Spend More Money? Yes I Know Some will Scold Me.

Kyblack76 Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 I know nothing about that driver. But, doesn't the D, in the product code, mean DUAL? Dual 4ohm coils ? What nominal load are you wired at now? (Or, where do you think you are?) This your driver ?

From the little I know is I can only wire 4ohm or 1ohm is this correct? Or am I missing something entirely From the miss information I was given about the sub I'm limited too 4ohm 300w. Sub has jumpers I'm wired to 4ohms since my amp isn't 1ohm stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyblack76 Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 The amp, doesnt dictate load. The driver(s) does/do.. Again, I dont know this driver, but if it's a dual4, then a 2ohm nominal load, is achievable. (Along with a 8oh load) You can NOT get 1, that's for sure.

I haven't even hooked it up yet, 4ohm 300w sounds like it would be crap for 750RMS Sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronT Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Run it 1 ohm the amp will see more as it gets to playing. Keep the gain unclipped and see how it does. Worst that will happen us amp will protect and tell you no. Then just unhook power and wire back to 4ohm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
