[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 2144980, member: 561023"] I think what you're missing here is the fact that the Type R is a dual voice coil driver ~ meaning that there are [I]two[/I] voice coils rather than a single one. Outside of that the Dual 4 Ohm and the Dual 2 Ohm are essentially the same driver but each has its own inherent wiring capabilities and it is up to the end user to decide which is more appropriate for their specific usage. The "2 Ohm" version cannot be wired to a 2 Ohm load by itself and the "4 Ohm" version cannot be wired to a 4 Ohm load by itself. Having said that you have to wire the coils either in series or in parallel depending on your needs. For your application using that particular Alpine amp the Dual 4 Ohm version (in my opinion) is more appropriate for you.
