[QUOTE="-sen-, post: 762017, member: 559751"] This is my first time diving into the world of car audio. I paid $250 for a box and $75 for the rack. Guess I'll never do that again. That's why I really would like to use the box. (and the **** thing isn't that special either, *sigh*) The alpines are 2+2 ohm (DVC) and I think he had it wired that way (each coil in parallel, one channel per sub?) That would have been 500W per sub, right? I hadn't upgraded my alternator and was running it off a cap. Plus I never went through the clipping/gain tutorial, but I read it, and see what you're talkin about. I'm thinking about going ahead and getting a replacement type R and have the wiring checked by a 2nd opinion. But if I get 250amp alternator and check my gain settings, you think I could run the two alpines at 500Wx2 @2ohms? Should be cleaner power right? Or do it all in parallel and bridge the channels at 500Wx1 @4ohms? I have no idea what exactly caused the problem, but I wanna prevent it before my dumb ass is out too much money. Thanks for the advice though guys. [/QUOTE]
