New member Username: JbamPost Number: 6 Registered: Dec-11 | I just have a quick question about impedance and wiring. Is there a site, or a post within this site that explains in detail how the impedance changes when wiring subs in series and parallel and how it changes based on the impedance rating of the sub? Im just confused.. I have the money to buy my first system now, but I don't want to end up buying the wrong thing. Thanks! JBam |

New member Username: JbamPost Number: 8 Registered: Dec-11 | So if I were to buy one 4ohm DVC speaker with the voice coils wired in parallel that gives me a 2 ohm load. (12" Alpine type R I am considering buying) their site says 300-600 RMS is best for that speaker So I want to look for an amp whose power rating at 2ohms is between 300-600 RMS x 1 channel, correct? |

Gold Member Username: Joe1234Post Number: 1154 Registered: May-09 | Beware of the MRP-Mxxxx Alpine amps are prone to overheating, if you get some other series will be pretty comparable on SQ. |
