[QUOTE="RosedaleGuy, post: 7726561, member: 641381"] Anyone? Some extra info: I did some googling. I'm guessin that when replaced the factory speakers he didn't increase the gain on the speaker channels. New speakers needed more power so when I cranked up the volume using new speakers it fried the sub. Is it possible to have everything setup such that even if you max out the volume, subwoofer and bass that it won't fry the subwoofer or speakers? ----------- Some specs: Alpine MRX F65 amp: 110x4 at 4 Ohms 160x4 at 2 Ohms 320x2 in bridged mode 2 speakers Alpine Type R are 110RMS @ 4 Ohms The Helix 10" sub is rated for 250RMS @ 2x2 Ohms 500RMS max I don't understand what 2x2 Ohms means.
