Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassYork, Pennsylvania Post Number: 13578 Registered: Jun-04 | it depends on what final ohm load you want |

Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassYork, Pennsylvania Post Number: 13580 Registered: Jun-04 | sometimes it does matter for motor strength though....just look at soundsplinters website and fi's website...youll see a difference in the listed motor strength |

Bronze Member Username: GutteerPost Number: 20 Registered: Feb-10 | well my friend is saying that 2 4 ohm alpine type Rs would be better than 2 2 ohm alpine type Rs |

Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassYork, Pennsylvania Post Number: 13603 Registered: Jun-04 | you would have to compare their stats to know for sure but you also want to make sure the subs can be wired to a final ohm load that you need to get the most power from your amp |

Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassYork, Pennsylvania Post Number: 13604 Registered: Jun-04 | two 4 ohm dual voice coil subs can be wired to 1 ohm or 4 ohms two 2 ohm dual voice coil subs can be wired to .5 ohms or 2 ohms |

Bronze Member Username: GutteerPost Number: 21 Registered: Feb-10 | ok can you just explain it i have no idea about the ohm load and such |

Bronze Member Username: GutteerPost Number: 23 Registered: Feb-10 | at the moment i have 1 mtx rt 502 amp im trying to get a Kicker 06ZX4502- 2/1 channel Amplifier |
|
Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassYork, Pennsylvania Post Number: 13616 Registered: Jun-04 | with the power you have and are going to have get one dual 2 ohm alpine sub and wire it to 4 ohms bridged at the amp |

Bronze Member Username: GutteerPost Number: 24 Registered: Feb-10 | ok well the thing is i dont want the 2 clips i just want 1 set of positive and negitive |
|
Gold Member Username: BonhamdTraverse City, MI Post Number: 2087 Registered: Nov-07 | well all type Rs are DVC so 1 set of pos and neg is out of the question on the type R why does it matter anyways? |
|
Bronze Member Username: GutteerPost Number: 25 Registered: Feb-10 | ok i didnt know well thats fine then and it dont matter |
|
Bronze Member Username: CwruckPost Number: 61 Registered: Feb-10 | i have a question. lets say you buy 2 subs and the sub is only made in dvc 4 ohm, but you only want to run it at 2 ohms instead of 1 ohm. can you just wire each sub individually in parallel to get a final load of 2 ohms? like you have a single box for both subs but you just wire each one to its own terminal and hook it up to an amp like the jbl gto 15001. since that amp has 4 inputs. the reason for doing that is 1 the subs can only be bought in dvc 4 ohm not dvc 2 ohm. and 2 that amp wont work in 1 ohm but only 2 at the least. that would work right? and another question, what happens if you have 2 alike subs like rockford fosgate t1's but one is a dvc 4 ohm and the other is a dvc 2 ohm. what would be the wiring options? Thats something i have been wondering for a long time now |
