New member Username: Ford123Post Number: 1 Registered: Nov-05 | I have 2 mtx 4250d amps and am looking to buy 2 12" subs to run each amp/sub seperate. do i need to get a 4ohm sub or a 2 ohm sub and also do u think 2 alpine type r 12" subs (each sub having 1 4250d amp)is to much for this amp. so when it is all done i will have 2 subs and 2 mono amps (1 each ran seperatly to each sub) will this work or not? |

IF you really wanted to get the Type R's, then you would have to get the dual 4ohm version so you can run it at 2ohms off your amp. Do that with each amp. The amp's will be underpowering your subs so don't get freaky with the gain control. If you plan on using these subs with this amp, use brains and it should work out ok. It's better to have subs matching your amp's rms rating tho.... |

Post Number: 2645 Registered: Jul-05 | if u want to do 1 sub/mtx amp , then buy 2ohms version & 1 each of this amp http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=15170 however if u buy the 4ohms dvc version & buy a single MONO amp like Alpine 1005D (or any good 1000wrms @ 1ohm amp) - it will cost u cheaper ....... |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 2659 Registered: Jul-05 | MTX TA4501 250 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms (500 watts x 1 at 2 ohms) a alpine 1242D type R = 500wrms , so yea but if were me like i said above i'd get a 1000wrms @ 1ohm mono amp to power both 4ohms dvc subs . Would be cheaper by far & pull less current too . Only way to tell if your system will be calling for more current -is to get it all hooked up & then check for voltage drops . if u want me to list some 1000wrms @ 1ohm mono amps - i can post back some models 4 u ........ |
