[QUOTE="johnecon2001, post: 630238, member: 556589"] First of all, the amp for the subs is way underpowered. Those subs take an RMS of 300 watts. If you have two of them, you can only run them at either 1 or 4 ohms. That amp isnt even stable at 1 ohm, so you have to run it at 4. At 4ohms, it only produces 225 watts... so each woofer would be getting 112.5 watts each which is not enough. As far as I know, alpine does not manufacture a 1 ohm stable amplifier. So you either need to get different subs or get a different amp. For your mains.. that amp is within the acceptable power limits for the speakers to handle. So over all, you subs/sub amp need work.. and why all alpine? There is better stuff available. [/QUOTE]
