Alpine type X question

hey guess i had a really fast and simple question probably a no brainer for most ppl in the world except me!

okay i have been looking at alpine type X lately and i noticed on there site they only have the alpine type X duel 4ohm. what i was wondering does this mean this sub doesn't run in 1ohm mode? oo i am loking at the 12in version of the sub

and my question is basicaly is it better for a sub to be run in 1ohm or 4ohm or rather 2ohm as it is with this sub.

anywways can someone help clear this up for me. i was also wondering b/c i have a type R duel 2ohm so i am runnig it in 1ohm right now and i seen this type X duel 4ohm and i was jsut curois i mean. and o do they make the X in duel 2ohm b/c i don't see it on there site.

aww i c! thanks for clearing that up! o one more novice question if you got a second mono amps can run in 2ohm right, i currently have an orion 1200d. the term mono jsut means they can run in 1ohm mode unlike a 2ch or 4ch amp correct or wrong!

again thanks and nice truck and nicer sound set up lol!
