Ive just got myself an alpine type R 12", its the 1243d dual 4 ohm version. For now i have only got a 4 channel amp, with two spair channels. However, the amp i have, MRP-F600, can only give 150watts at 2ohms. Is this too little power and bad for the sub? Im going to be getting a new amp soon, but i want to know if i can use the MRP-F600 while im waiting for my new amp?
RMS Continuous Power (at 14.4 V, 20 - 20kHz)
• Per channel into 4 ohms (≤1% THD+N)
MRP-F600 ........................................... 100 W x 4
• Per channel into 2 ohms (≤1% THD+N)
MRP-F600 ........................................... 150 W x 4
• Briged 4 ohms (≤1% THD+N)
MRP-F600 ........................................... 300 W x 2.
They are the specs of the amp.
The sub will be going in a ported box, 2cubic ft at 32hz.
Thanks for any help.
