Hey guy, currently running a single alpine 12" type R in my 2009 aveo5 hatch. been thinking on adding a 2nd.

Its a dvc 2ohm , currently wired to 1ohm and running off a hifonics brutus 1200d amp , im prob pushing about 500-600 rms to the sub. about 6/10s gain

I guess my question is think it will make much of a difference adding another 12"?

where they are 2ohm dvcs what would be my wiring options.. especially to the amp.

 

Buy second sub and wire series/parallel. That will give you a 2 ohm load to the amp.

 

i wondered would it work properly to have 1 2ohm dvc and 1 4ohm dvc. wire it up to give a 1.5ohm load?

 

I think one sub "sees" more power than the other... not positive though. Might have cancellation issues due to subs having different impedance's.

 

Well if I pick up a 2nd sub ill just get another dvc 2ohm.
What are my wiring options with 2 dvc2's?

 

The only good one is series/parallel or parallel/series both will give you a 2 ohm load. Possibilities are 8, 2, or .5 ohms.

 

this is what i was wondering lol. one has a lower impendence than the other..


grab a second amp and another dvc2ohm lol

 

well id still be sending close to 900rms to both if wired to 2ohms

or ive been thinking of upgrading to a xxx re 12" single.

think id be better off with 1 re xxx 12, or 2 alpine type rs

 

you'll be better off with another type r

 

thats what i was wondering as well..

i had 2 1st gen type R 10 inchers before in a mazda protege5 but they were always underpowered getting like 300 watts rms total

this single 12 kicks hard and sounds good in the small hatch i have now... and power is never a issue

its currently in a 2 cubic foot box, L shape Port tuned to 35hz
