Help wiring 2 Alpine type R 12 Inch

[karrmite 10+ year member]

Currently i have an 8 gauge power wire running to the trunk of my civic.(i ordered a 4 gauge kit and plan on changing it as soon as it comes in)

Originally i paid someone to do it but i think it is pretty easy considering the rca and remote wire is all ready.

I would just need to run new power wire 4 gauge and and ground.

My question is what amp would be good to push these 2 alpine type r's.

I bought them on craigslist today for 150 with a ported box i dont know much about subs....i think i got a good deal?

Dual 2 or 4 ohm subs?

Thats the thing I have no idea.....And I dont know how to check ?

You got a great deal, recently sold mine with NO box for 230$.

I would recommend a Rockford Fosgate 1500bd, Hifonics BRZ1700, SAZ1500.

You can take them out the box and check.Most of the time its around or under the magnet.

You can also use a DMM(digital multimeter) to read the ohm impendance of the subs.

After I check them tommorow I will post the model number and ohm.

Thanks alot guys.

I pulled out one of the subs today and it was the model 1222d on it.

How would i go about wiring ?

Dont you mean 1223d?OP i need to know the ohm impendance on your subs to determine what amp can push them.Do you have a digital multimeter to get the ohm reading on your subs?
