Alpine MRD-M605 power rating a 8ohms
Can anyone tell how to figure out what the power rating would be on this amp at 8ohms?
I plan to run 2 JL Audio 10w1's(4ohms) in series for an Ohm rating
If I run in Parallel there will be too much power
4ohms is 300
2ohms is 600

Tom the shop I buy them from say that the amp will be too much for just one!
It's getting 150+ right now with the gains at just under half and it's happy but I now need that channel for my doors. With the gains at nil it's quite significantly less!
I'll try the 605 with just the one first and if it's ok at NIL I'll go with what I have and maybe dress the box up!

1. That amp is a lot of power for 2 of the subs....having said that, proper set-up of the amp gain and the variable sub out on the deck should enable you to run them safely...get or make a proper ported box for them and you can be the guy who tells the rest of us how they do maxed out.....
2. I'm assuming from your second statement that you're running the single off the 2 rear channels on the other amp....personally I like all speakers amplified anyway, and the extra headroom for your subs is a good thing to have.
