[QUOTE="sdwrx, post: 1088391, member: 562597"] I just picked up a new Alpine type s sub... it's a dvc 2ohm. My Amp is an older Mtx that is 280w bridged at 4ohm. I wired the sub according to the instructions for a 4ohm load, which my amp is already wired for, and nothing really happens. My amp's red power light is on, and when I turn on my h/u I hear the usual thump for the sub. But when i turn up the volume I hear practically no bass. In addition, the amp is getting really hot. At first I thought it was wired incorrectly, but I double checked and everything looks fine. I'm starting to wonder if I need a new amp... do you guys have any suggestions? thx [/QUOTE]
