Ohm wiring question

[MikeP2389 10+ year member]

Hey guys just found this site and i have to say it is really nice.

I have a question on how to wire my friends sub(s)

I know a pretty good amount of things when it comes to car audio but some of this stuff confuses me a bit.

My friend just got a hifonics bxi1606d mono amp and he just bought a 15" alpine type r(2ohm). Can someone tell me how to wire it to get a 2ohm load. I heard the type r's can take some overpowering so id like to push the 1100rms to it even though the max is 750-is it safe to do that?. can someone tell me or post up a diagram on how to wire it up to the amp to get that load? or should i run it at 4ohms?

In a couple more weeks hes going to be buying another type r and i would still like to run both at 2ohms. can someone also tell or post a diagram up on how to do that also?

thanks!

you said its a 2ohm, is that a single 2 ohm or are there 2 coils that are 2 ohm each?

if they are dual 2 ohm...then there is a no go on running them at 2 ohms

you can only run it at 1 ohm of 4....

so basically until he gets the other dual voice coil 2ohm type r i have to run the one sub at 4ohms load and i cant do it at 2 right?

what about when he gets the other one cant i run em at a 2ohm load?

yea run the one at 4 ohms, then when you get them both you can run the whole set up at 2 ohms. check out that rockford fosgate link i put up. you have a dual 2 ohm sub, then put in 1 or 2 subs itll give you your options.

check out http://www.teamnortheastspl.com for some shows, not many are booked yet but there will be in the spring/summer

If its going to be a while until he gets another R run it to 1ohm...the type R is rated to be able to handle 2000w so your amp should be fine since it only puts out @ 1400@1
