Thomas White Bronze Member Username: Islandboy808 Mililani, Hawaii US Post Number: 78 Registered: Nov-05	Posted on Wednesday, November 23, 2005 - 05:54 GMT Hi guys i was wondering how would i wire up my dvc 4 ohm alpine type S subwoofers.i currently have a hifonics brutus BX1500D(thanks chauncey). i want to hook it up the safest way as possible but with the most bang.I know the amp is way to powerful for those alpines so ill probly have to keep the gains down.

I would only do it this way if there is a divider in your box.
