overpowering fi subs

[bvr_j_0969 10+ year member]

i have a hifonics bx1000d amp

and i currently have 2 10" alpine type r's that im no longer happy with (the older versions with the smooth surround)

im looking at buying 2 10" FI x's

dual 4 ohm.

i could wire them up at 4 ohm or 1 ohm,

at 4 ohm they are way underpowered.

at 1 ohm they are way overpowered. (100 rms per voice coil)

if i wire 2 of these up at 1 ohm to my amp would they be pushed to hard. or would it be fine

ive never dealt with any Fi and have no idea on what kind of abuse they can handle.

Run the amp at 1 ohm, you will be fine, as long as you set the gains right.

would the fi x's be any louder then my 2 type r's?

no one can answer that, it's all in the setup + the car.
