[QUOTE="IFeelYourPain, post: 7470056, member: 634883"] Trying to wire these up to sound good. The amp is rated at 3000 watts, but what confuses me, is it doesn't say bridgeable on the amp I tried all combinations but I feel like it just isn't as loud as my 1000w crunch amp The terminals on the amp are weird too. (+)(+) (-)(-) I tried the following and it is the same result same loudness (+)()()(-) ()(+)(-)() Also the Alpine x is rated @ 4ohm 3000w max, 1000w rms. The amp is rated at the following 4 ohms: 900 watts x 1 chan. 2 ohms: 1300 watts x 1 chan. 1 ohm: 1700 watts x 1 chan. I don't want 2 or 1 ohm I want 4, because anything higher will be more watts than the sub is made for. The Alpine Type x is dual voicecoil too. I don't know if I currently have it running a series, but I heard parallel is better. I have a jumper in the middle for series, for parrallel I need two For example [][|][] -> How I have it set up for series [|][][|] -> How it should be set up for parallel Also the subs terminals are set up like this (vc1+) - (vc1-) (vc2+) - (vc2-) I currently have vc1+ connected to + on the amp and the vc2- connected to the - on the amp so: (+) (+)(-) (-) | | (vc1+) (vc2-) assuming vc means voicecoil I just want this thing to beat the **** out of my miata.
