ok guys so i have 1 alpine mrd 500 amp
running a 12'' alpine type r dvc sub
on this amp it has a positive and negitive place to connect the speaker wire from the sub
**i want a 2 ohm load
im not sure if i would run
1 speaker wire just for the negitive,
2.split the wire and go positive and negitive
the part that confuses me is that it looks like the wire is in 1 wire and not split for this
3.put one wire positive one wire negitive and have a extra wire to connect the extra voice coils
helpp thankss

you would put a wire between each voice coil ++ -- then back to the +- on the amp

are you sure your sub has 2, 4 ohm coils?
Or is is 2, 2ohm coils?

If you don't know for sure, can you measure it?

AM*E*LL

yes they are dvc 4 ohm
i wired them up rite
i went to my local shop
and the guy said its my electrical system
i either gotta get another battery
upgrade the alternator
or get another cap/bigger cap

u sure your not just seriously clipping the amp? that would make an amp shut off pretty quick.

AM*E*LL

no
he said because on my amps
you can see the voltage currents and everything
and the electrical system cant keep up with it

when it does it what do the # on the amp do ?
more info befor you run out and give up your $

like it has temp you can see and volts and amps
and so we put it on amps
and one amp is grabbing about like 1-15 amps
and then the other amp is steady around 10-15 amps
