Okay, I'm looking into DMM's right now. Thank you for all of your help, I'm just going to turn down the gain and everything until I get a DMM and get it tuned right.   ---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------   Yeah it's running at 2 ohms. So I'm...

I'm sorry I'm going to sound like a complete noob. But I dont think my car has a voltage meter (or whatever it's called) in it.. and I'm not sure what the pre-out voltage is, can i find it on the box? Or online?

How can I tell if it's clipping or not? could it be clipping because I have a stock alternator with no Big 3 upgrade? might be dropping voltage?

It's getting warm, but nothing excessive. I live in Arizona and it's 110 out right now so I can't really tell.. The sub is rated at 1000 watts RMS, and the gain on the 1100 watt amp is only half way... So i don't think I'm hurting the sub, I just don't like the smell!

Yeah I will definitely have to re-tune the amp, I can tell. But that will have to wait til the morning so I don't wake the neighbors haha. But thank you again everyone! I did a little research and feel like I understand Parallel and Series a bit more

Thank you for the replies so quickly! I just hooked everything up in parallel a few minutes ago and gave it a test run, and it was a lot louder! I have an Alpine MRX-110 X Series 1100 watt mono amp btw. Stable down to 2 ohms

Hello, I'm new to this forum and just had a question for everyone. I've had an Alpine Type R 12" DVC 4 ohm subwoofer for about a year now, but just recently did I take it back out of the box and check on the wiring to make sure nothing came loose. I realized that I had the sub hooked up wrong...
