Hi all,
Im really confused as to which Ohm to wire the sub - Is 4 ohm or 1ohm better suited for my install?
In a nutshell here are the details
Alpine sub: 750w RMS (2250w Max)
Pioneer amp: 1 Ohm at 1200w RMS (2400w Max) or 4 Ohm at 500w RMS (1000w Max)
Im confused because the sub is a dual 2 ohm, ive currently powered the sub/amp at 4ohm so i guess im only really using less than 500w RMS out of the available 750w RMS in the sub. I chose 4ohm only so that I cant 'blow' the sub and it doesnt sound bad, but I wanted to make sure if my thinking is right or not.
Would it make more sense to use 1Ohm?

Any help would be appreciated, thankyou
