[QUOTE="kay755, post: 8705774, member: 679778"] 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?
