ChrisGLE Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Just wondering if I could run my amp a 2ohms on an Alpine Type R 4ohm version. Or am I better off with the 2ohm version?

Link to amp? If the sub is single 4 ohm, then it will only run on a 4 ohm load. Quote POTATO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorcity Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) If its dual 4 ohm, you shouldnt have any problem running it at 2 ohms just hook + to +, - to - on the sub, then run + from sub to + on amp and - on sub to - on amp Edited December 11, 2010 by Gatorcity Quote comic on tv: I got a concussion from playing t-ball when i was younger, we dont really have time to go into that! . . . . 15 seconds pass . . . . . my girl: no one pitches to you in t-ball, do they???

Gatorcity Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Should be ok, but I would be careful with setting gains, the type r's are only rated 500 watts rms I believe Quote comic on tv: I got a concussion from playing t-ball when i was younger, we dont really have time to go into that! . . . . 15 seconds pass . . . . . my girl: no one pitches to you in t-ball, do they???

So I'd say if I ran it at 2ohms, they should be getting just around the right RMS. Edited December 11, 2010 by ChrisGLE Quote Check out my first ever aftermarket purchase!

Gatorcity Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 You can wire both subs together then hook them up to the amp to get a 1 ohm load Quote comic on tv: I got a concussion from playing t-ball when i was younger, we dont really have time to go into that! . . . . 15 seconds pass . . . . . my girl: no one pitches to you in t-ball, do they???

Playa Named Joe Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 I don't think you'd want to run that at 1 ohm. That's alot omre power then they can handle. But as long as you keep the gain down you'll be ok . Quote 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatorcity Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 If youre running both at the same time, 2 dual 4 ohm subs cant be wired to 2 ohms, its either 1 ohm or 4 ohm http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=2&I=42#results Check out this link Quote comic on tv: I got a concussion from playing t-ball when i was younger, we dont really have time to go into that! . . . . 15 seconds pass . . . . . my girl: no one pitches to you in t-ball, do they???
