[QUOTE="ericnord, post: 806019, member: 560194"] I have qty 2 DVC 2-ohm subs Alpine Type-R. My amp is an Alpine MRD-M1005 whihc is a 1 channel mono amp with the following specs: RMS Power (at 12V,20Hz-200Hz) * Per channel into 2 ohms : 700W x 1 * Per channel into 4 ohms : 500W x 1 RMS Power (at 14.4V,20Hz-200Hz) * Per channel into 2 ohms : 1000W x 1 (1% THD) I will use this wiring diagram: [URL="http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard/2_2ohmDVC_2ohm.gif"]http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard/2_2ohmDVC_2ohm.gif[/URL] The thing that bothers me is that in the amp specs it says Per Channel into 2-ohms :700x1. Why does it say per channel if it is a 1 channel amp? Since I'm ending up at a 2ohm load will each sub get 700w, or 350w? Also, with this amp and the Alpine T420 which is about 150x2 do I need to run 1/0 or will 4 gauge be ok for the power from battery? Thanks, -Eric [/QUOTE]
