    Alpine Type R's 12" not hitting hard

    I have the positive of the sub going to the positive of the terminals then to the positive of the amp, then the negative of the subs to the negative of the terminals, then to the negative of the amp.. I have that little piece of wire that connects the + and - to make the sub 2 ohms. Does anyone...

    Alpine Type R's 12" not hitting hard

    I don't understand. The subs say 2 ohms @ 500W RMS. I have 2 of the same sub, so wouldn't that be 1000W RMS @ 2 ohms for both of the subs? The amp puts out 1000W RMS @ 2 ohms.

    Alpine Type R's 12" not hitting hard

    Problem solved. I took my subs out, found out that PURPLE was Positive, Silver was negative. Subs were connected correctly, but the wires that I used to connect the 2 subs was switched. So I had positive from the amp goin to negative on the subs, and vice versa. I changed it up and it sounds...

    Alpine Type R's 12" not hitting hard

    Subs in phase? Not too sure I know what that means...How would I know if they are in phase? Subs should be wired correctly - I am going to take them out and re-check. That's the box I got... Where do I learn to set gains properly? Vehicle is a 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser. Headunit is a Phase...

    Alpine Type R's 12" not hitting hard

    Gain is set at half way. The headunit settings are all configured for the subs to push. I had 2 15's at one point in time with the same headunit. So I know the headunit is all set up. My HU is a Phase Linear UV8. I have the speaker wire coming out of the amp to one subwoofer, then I have a...

    Alpine Type R's 12" not hitting hard

    Alright, well I just bought a brand new system. I got a MRP-M1000 Alpine amp and 2 Alpine SWR1242D subwoofers. I know that the amp is perfect for the system, but I got it all plugged up and it only bumps when the volume is maxed out. Anything below the max volume and the subs are barely bumping...
