[QUOTE="Umbra, post: 8296197, member: 658055"] If I'm following this correctly you've got a 10" Alpine Type S with a dual 4 ohm coil configuration. Meaning it can be wired to 8 ohms or 2 ohms. It can handle 500W RMS. If you purchased the Kenwood KAC-5001PS recommended earlier, that puts out 500W RMS @ 2 ohms, so it should be a perfect match. Wire it as per the diagram on the right in your first post, or like this (same wiring, cleaner example).
