    Question About Wiring Mono Block

    that amp should be stable down to 2ohm load also it puts out the same power no matter what the load is (8/6/4/2) thats the beauty of these amps and yes roughly 500 a piece and thats plenty for the alpine type-r's trust me you will be plenty pleased

    my tweeters on C2 components keep clipping out

    I figured the problem out. My gain on my PDX amp was only set to 1/2 the crossover set to 62 cuz of the 12db slope. and the speaker wire isn't stock its all upgraded with monster cable 12awg. The tweeters were clipping from being pushed to hard even though on my deck the highs are turned down...

    how can i run 4 speakers and a sub with only 2 sets of pre amp outputs?

    hes right that will work also only if your amp has an output rca on it i know alot of cheaper amps don't then you would have to go with the y adapter to splice your front rca's into 2 rca's hope this helps man

    New to this stuff - How's this setup?

    i really like kenwood amps for the price they push well and stay cool. as far as speakers you do get what you pay for. somewhere around 200-350 dollar components arent bad look into jl,boston acoustics,alpine,focal i have jl C2 components they handle alright but the highs r way to high and loud...

    how can i run 4 speakers and a sub with only 2 sets of pre amp outputs?

    depends what you have is it a switchable rear/sub rca out on the deck and a front pair too? what is your amp? my alpine wants a front and rear output but has a selector that allows me to steal signal from channels 1/2 and share it with 3/4. or you can get a y adapter for the four channel and...

    i disagree, I love alpine to death and currently have a ford fusion 2007. i own 2 alpine type-s 10" subs in a ported box. I bought the alpine amp your looking at because of its claimed power and was honestly not happy with it so i brought it back and bought myself the kenwood 1800peak 900rms for...
