[QUOTE="natem33, post: 12912, member: 541071"] With two 8 ohm subs you shouldn't have to worry about wiring them in series. wire them in parallel and bridge the Jensen amp. This will achieve 4 ohm bridged load on the amp. The Jensen should be stable at 4 ohms bridged (or 2 ohms stable). Don't quote me on the Alpine specs but my educated guess is 35 watts rms X 4 channels or about 120 rms X 2 channels. Go to Alpines web site and search for that model number. Another general way to determine out put would be to multiply 14.4 by how many amps the fuses are in the Alpine amp and then subtract 55% from that number. For example - 2 20 amp fuses=40 amp draw. Multiplied by 14.4 (Alpine's voltage rating for power output) and subtract 55% (general efficiancy percentage) = 260 watts total output. Again this is a very general number. [/QUOTE]
