[QUOTE="-sen-, post: 762356, member: 559751"] I didn't do the install at all. He didn't explain exactly how it was wired, I just assumed it was doing 500W each channel and one sub per channel with 2ohm impedence. As for the damage done, he says the voice coils separated. I'm pretty sure that I'm the cause for damaging the speakers; The way he wired it was probably the best option. Given a 500Wx2 @2ohm amp and 2 alpine type R's (2+2 ohm DVC, 300 RMS) how would you suggest it be wired? Tommorrow I will check it out myself, just to be sure. I just trusted the tech, since I'm a complete newb when it comes to this stuff. As for the alternator, with the capacitor hooked up to the sub amp and the amp turned all the way down, I was still getting very noticeable headlight/console dimming at the slightest bass note. I do 75% of my driving at night so I figure a new alternator would be necessary. Maybe 200 is enough, since my first quote for a 250amp was almost $600. [/QUOTE]
