Is a duel 2 ohms or a dual 4 ohms amp better if im running a 12 on a alpine amp that pumps 4 ohms?

 

Is the amp a 2 channel and is it 2 ohm stable?

 

if it's a mono amp and puts out power at 4 ohms then a dual 2 is your sub. if its a two channel amp and its 2 ohm stereo stable then you want a dual 4 ohm sub.

 

PM bonesninja plz, need ASAP

 

ok your amp is a 2-channel amp and it is 4 ohm stable so what this means is that you get use a dual 2 or even a single 4 ohm voice coil. the thing about your amp is that it does not put out much power and even worse that it makes rated power at 14.4v. My OPINION is save your money buy a nice mono amp and a good sub.

 

alright thanks man, ill put that into consideration.

 

Hey Bones...
If he is using 1 4ohm or a dual 2ohm sub with this amp, he could have some issues. If he is using the amp bridged and shows it a 4ohm load, he is in fact showing each channel of the amp 2ohms. This will be a problem if the amp is only 4ohm stereo stable.
I will say that this is stated based only on the information that is in this post.
I hate it when manufacturers rate their product output at 14.4v. Why announce that we have crappy regulation curcuits?

 

I will correct myself before any one else starts. if he is looking at the MRP-T220 Alpine amp that he is talking about in a previous post, then it would be ok as Bones has said. except the amp is 4ohm stable in bridged mode. Which I can assume is what he meant. Still, I do agree with Bones, save your money and get a better amp and sub.

 

Better then a kicker? What is there that is better for the price?

 

there is a ton of stuff better than kicker. what are you looking for and how much you looking to spend?
