4ohm amp not compatitable with 4ohm sub!

[bterz 10+ year member]

Hey guys. Im kinda bummed, I recently purchased a TXA-6004 from Cadence and an Alpine Type-R 12" (dual 4ohms) for my first system ever.

I finished my box tonight for it and it came out awesome, I decided to add an extra peice of MDF behind the cutout and make the box so the sub is flush with the top of the box now I dont need a grill.

Anyways, Im super super bummed because once I got it in the box and predrilled the screws where im going to mount it, i was lookin at the setup sheet and I realized I can only wire it to 8 or 2 ohms.

So, im assuming I need to buy the Dual 2ohm subwoofer to wire at 4ohms??

help?? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif im bummed

yeap. that is correct. Dual 4 is either 2 or 8 ohms. 2 dual 4's can be 4 ohm load at the amp.

Dude just buy another D4 sub. Two DVC D4 subs can be wired to 4ohm, which your amp does 600x2 @ 4ohm, perfect...

I realize that requires making a new box though...

ya and im on a budget of 350$ for an entire system, got Type-S speakers and Alpine headunit as a freebie.

Im just gonna take it back and get a Dual 2ohm one. Kinda sucks cuz its like 30 minute drive LOL i guess im just being a wimp.

I guess so (being a ....) anyways. Yeah it would be different if you had the amp and was ready to install and crap... lol

If you can return the sub for a D2 then the problem is solved.

It's a 4 channel amp so he's gonna end up with one side unused.

return either the sub or the amp from where you bought it and get something more suited for your application

Is the TXA-6004 going to be connected to anything else other than the Type R?

Not 2 ohm bridged.

one four ohm coil per bridged pair of channels.

600ish per coil FTW

Hehehe This is exactly why I asked if the amp was going to be connected to anything else. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
