davewms9605 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Hey SMD! Got a question. Im helping to put in a moddest system in my neighbors car which consists of just a pioneer cd player, amp and subs. He has two Pioneer Premier Champion series 12's which are rated at 4-ohm DVC each at 400-rms each and he has an Alpine MRP-M850 amp which is rated at 800-watts 2-ohm and 500 watts 4-ohm. How can i wire these babies up to get that 800 watts or will he have waisted money and have to get another amp? Please help!!!

R_Mac_1 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Two dual 4 ohm subs can only be wired to one ohm or 4 ohms. Sorry, but 2 ohms aint gonna happen.

donsie Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I might be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure you can only wire it up to show the amp either a 4ohm load or 1ohm, but I don't think that amp is stable down to 1ohm. Someone correct me I'm wrong though. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woof...mp;woofer_imp=4 Quote chicken is basically the native american hulk, you think he broke that curb with his rim? think again, that was merely him stubbing his toe.

davewms9605 Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 yeah i believe its only 2-ohm stable, just needed a second opinion. and i know he doesnt want to live with a measly 250 watts a sub!! you think if i put just one 12 on it and get it to 2ohms, will the 800 watts blow the sub up? its only rated at 400 watts. or did he just blow his cash on false hopes?

donsie Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 If he just bought the subs, and they're not even used yet, just have him exchange them for the dual 2ohm models and then the amp can be wired down to 2ohms.

30Hz.wav Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) Exchange them for the 2 Ohm DVC... Edited August 14, 2009 by cccmaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davewms9605 Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 you guys make it sound so simple. lol!! nope, he cant exchange them, he bought everything in one bundle from someone off the streets on a good deal? any options? can i just hook the one sub up and will it blow from the 800 watts?
