Will my amp and sub work together.

[pearlbc]

Hello everyone. My dad gave me some stereo gear for my birthday, but im afraid it may not work. Its a Alpine SWR-10D2 10" sub, the newest model rated at 1000RMS, 2ohm DVC and a Hifonics GLX1400.1D amplifier, CEA rated at 1400RMS at 1ohm. Will this amp overpower that sub? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Its going in a small ported box in a truck ,about 1.1cfu i think

It'll work fine. Wire your sub to 1 ohm and set your gains with a DMM to make sure you aren't clipping it and you're good to go.

Give it 800w or so and itll be happy. I dont think those new arghs can take a thouwow.

I personally do not think the new Alpine Type R's can handle one thousand watts of power.

You'll be fine music is dynamic so unless you plan on listening to test tones the sub will likely never see 1400 watts.

they can take 1k im sure i seen 1k to the old ones but theyll take the power you can always turn the amp down a lil with a dmm and give it the ratde 1k

what he said...and with those amps, if you cannot provide 14.4 steady volts to the amp, then the amp will not produce the rated output anyways.

this^ youll likley see 900-1100 watts rms depending on your electrical

where at in texas are yah ?

Ive always given My subs almost double rated. Just takes some common sense if you want longevity. You'll be fine, just don't clip it and keep your nose alert.

Really? Common sense doesn't work for you? I listen to moderate volume most the time and so running double rated is fine for me. I've blown 1 sub in 8 years and it was expected as I was ready to upgrade so I pushed it hard. I can't help it if you blow your **** left and right running over rated power. Or maybe you need to buy better subs.

Set gains by DMM method. Personally, I would have preferred the D4 version so it can be wired for 2ohm impedance. Some entry level amplifiers still do not have good efficiency running at 1ohm.

My response was a hypothetical. I haven't had any problems running a good bit over rated for a long time. Some people will **** stuff up over and over no matter the power they are running from clipping, over driving or whatnot. And to me that falls in the common sense category.
