[QUOTE="zako, post: 7772455, member: 629735"] I have read before in reviews that Alpine is simply being conservative with amplifier specs. They do provide more power running at 2ohms. If the amplifier does provide the 500watts at 4ohms, personally I would stick with the 4ohm setup as that should provide enough sound for my needs if I were to use something like Image Dynamics IDQ, Alpine Type-S or Dayton HO. 500watts is plenty to produce good bass, and the amplifier consumers less current running with 4ohm subwoofer. This is an important consideration for a lot of modern compact cars with weak alternators. [/QUOTE]
