can i run 2 12" alpine type r 1241D off of 1 MRD-M501? i was told that the ohms didnt match up or something and id either have to get 2 more type r's or get one more MRD-M501 and overpower them carefully. is that true? and glasswolf if you could just leave me some ideas for my stereo here that would be cool..... alpine cda-9835 alpine MRD-M501 2 12" type r MBquart hi/low 2 7.2" phoenix digital LCD
you did get the wrong voice coil config if you want to go with alpine amps there geared towards 2 ohm setups.. yours will work with 1 ohm or 4 ohms ..and yeh you would have to run 2 m501s = 550 watts to each sub at full volume or you could go with MRD-M301 which gives out 350 rms .. if you were to use 1 amp you could go with something like the jl 1000/1 which gives 1000 rms at 4 ohms.. i have 2 12" type rs with the 2 ohm coils that i will be running with alpines mrd m1001 u could have gone with that option with the other type coils

do you think that 2 MRD-M501's would be to much?..ive read other places that it would be to much..but thanks and hopefully ill figure something out.
well aparently they can take some punishment so its up to you i guess i would recommend keeping the volume down tho sein as its almost double the rms value of the sub
