Ndnkobra Posted April 23, 2010 Report Posted April 23, 2010 (edited) Hey guys, i just had a quick question. i made a screw up on ordering the wrong coils on the sub and its too late because its already getting shipped, i needed 4 ohm coils and i got 2 ohm coils instead. normally this wouldnt be a problem at all but the amps that i'm choosing are limited. There's an alpine V12 that is rated at 350w@2ohms and there's a JL 500/1 thats [email protected]. the alpine amp is almost more than likely to get bought, but when i looked it up a 2 ohm sub can either be wired down to 1 ohm or 4 ohms. Is there any way i can get a 2 ohm load on this speaker with the alpine amp, by either hooking up just one coil or if anyone knows if an alpine mrd-300 is stable at 1 ohm? Thanks for any advice!

Skullz Posted April 23, 2010 Report Posted April 23, 2010 You'll need to get an amp thats 1ohm or 4ohm stable for the sub at the power level your wanting. what sub did you order? Quote 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2

Skullz Posted April 23, 2010 Report Posted April 23, 2010 You can always get this and run it at 4ohm and if he happened to want a 2nd sub it can be then ran at 2ohm for max power in the future. http://cgi.ebay.com/ALPINE-MRP-M500-CLASS-D-AMP-MONO-BLOCK-AMPLIFIER-NEW-/140401651362?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Car_Amplifiers&hash=item20b0972ea2#ht_3469wt_1150 Quote 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2
Ndnkobra Posted April 23, 2010 Author Report Posted April 23, 2010 yeah that would be a steal, but for him its just saving as much money as possible which isnt the right way to go if you're cheating out on quality equipment. thats why i'm trying to find an amp that will put out 300w at 1 ohm or 4 ohms just so he doesnt get angry. or anything 300w and above and i can just tune the amp to put out 300w of power, but his budget is really killing me right now, the amp needs to be under $100 Quote

Ndnkobra Posted April 23, 2010 Author Report Posted April 23, 2010 you're a beast, i'll show him the link tomorrow. i really hope i can get him to buy that, he's really being cheap about his equipment and it makes me mad. Quote
