Alpine 10" Type-R 2OHM or 4OHM??

[FrustratedMunky]

Hey guys,

Quick question, what's the difference between 2ohm and 4ohm subs?

My friends are buying me a sub for my birthday, but I don't have an amp yet. I hear that it all depends on the amplifier. If I don't have an amp yet, and I most likely wanna go the more "affordable" route for the system, which one is better to get?

Thanks

Are people really this ignorant?

If you're going to bridge the sub to a 2 channel amp then get a 4 ohm sub. If it's a mono amp, get the 2 ohm sub.

Oh ok, thanks.

Would you guys recommend to get a 4OHM sub with a 2 channel amp, or a 2OHM sub with a mono-amp? Is there any advantage to getting 4OHM over 2OHM?

If you're going to bridge the sub to a 2 channel amp then get a 4 ohm sub. If it's a mono amp, get the 2 ohm sub.

That's assuming the mono amp is 1-ohm stable. All Type-R's are DVC.

It all depends on the amp. Share what amp you would like to use.

I have the Alpine 10" Type-R 4OHM right now, and I would like to use the MRP-M350. Can that be done?

[Mystikal]

Yes, that is the correct model.
