ok i need advice like always.

would this amp pound the alpines. on 2 alpine swr 1222d 12" subs. at 2 ohms a sub.

Rockford Fosgate T5002

does anybody have any suggestions. ??

type r's can handle more than 500rms

If you wired the subs parallel you would get a .5 ohm impedance

(1/(1/2+1/2+1/2+1/2))=1/2

that amp is only 2ohm stable bridged, so you could not do the above

If you wire in series it would give you a 8 ohm impedance which would require a much bigger amp

If you haven't bought these yet and want 2 subs, I would suggest going with a 4 ohm DVC sub

like the alpine swr 1224d (Same sub, different impedance)

then you could wire that to a 1 ohm impedance and will have a easier time finding amps that will be stable at that level

I would not use the amp you have mentioned

oh and this is in the wrong section (classifieds)

What amp would you suggest for the alpine type. 1222d and could you email me a small diagram for the wiring configuration. Sorry I'm a noob. But I have to learn somehow

I can make diagram sometime today when I get home

what r u guys talking about

he could run them in series and tie them together to make them 2 ohms

dual 2s up to 4 a peice then tie them together would drop them to 2

 

[treadburner 10+ year member]

nvm just read he is trying to get each to 2 ohms

 

[sundownmaalpine 10+ year member]

Each sub is already 2ohm. Its the 1222d. I just am trying to figure out how to wire them an wat amp would be best...sorry

nvm just read he is trying to get each to 2 ohms

are u tryin to wire them to 2ohms?

WRONG!! actually u can wire 2 dual 2ohm subs and get 2ohms

 

[BallinByNature 10+ year member]

u would really be underpowering those subs

 

[hockey512546 10+ year member]

yeah

i thought about that a little bit ago..sorry

You still need to find a different amp

Ok. Both subs together will be 4ohms put together. 2ohms a sub. I want to get a wire configuratinh can get each sub down to 1ohm a sub. So 2ohms a pair. I haunt decided what amp to get. So could I maybe get some advice on what amp I should get and how I should wire it. Sand I don't have slot of money. And I really want type r..........help

all u got to do is hooked up the 1 positive and one negative from different vc's

then the other positive and negative run to the amp

that would make your sub 4 ohms

then do it with the other sub and then tie both subs together and u have 2 ohms

when u tie them together they drop in half not double
