[QUOTE="tommymilan311, post: 8407030, member: 664761"] Okay. I was in another thread and had some questions. I didn't want to completely take over the thread because one question leads to another question and answer and so on and so on. So here is what is going on. I have 2 type-R 10" (dual 4 ohms) subs with a Alpine MRX-M110. 650 W - 4 Ohm 1100W - 2 Ohm 800W - 1 Ohm [URL="http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500MRXM110/Alpine-MRX-M110.html?tp=115&awkw=99505893412&awat=pla&awnw=g&awcr=50723874625&awdv=c"]Crutchfield[/URL] [URL="http://www.alpine-usa.com/product/view/mrx-m110"]Alpine-USA.com[/URL] I was mislead into buying this amp.
