kay so when i get my new amp next week i wanna run my sub down to 1 ohm, can i? its type r 12" 1242 if so how to i wire it

 

+to+ and -to-

is that the dual 2ohm???

 

no dual 4 thats whyy i posted the model 1242

 

Not going to get it to 1 ohm at all with only 1 of that model sub. You would need to add a second identical sub or replace the 1 sub with a dual 2 ohm version.

 

well then the lowest you can go is 2ohm

 

You cannot wire that sub down to a 1 ohm load. The lowest you can get is 2 ohm, by wiring the voicecoils in parallel. Positive from the amp to both positives at the voicecoil terminals, and the negative from the amp to both negatives at the voicecoil terminals.

You bought that MBQ amp right, 600W @ 1 ohm... Not going to happen with this sub. You can try selling the Type R to someone, and use that money to get a 2 ohm DVC sub, that you can wire down to 1 ohm.

Sorry dude.

 

well that just blowwwss *****. well ill see how it sounds with my amp, its still 500 rms at 2 ohm like my last amp, so its not a big loss, tragic its actually 1000 @ 1 ohm well so they say

 

so just to double check if i get another 4ohm type r like mine i can wire it down to 1 ohm? like mr2nr said, that being said id probabbly pick one up would it be good to get a used one, or think it would be better to try and sell my sub and pick up 2 10's or a new 12? kinda shortish on money now and wouldnt have a good amount of money for 3 weeks any advice is helpfull

 

My advice would be to run one 2 ohm sub for the next three weeks or so. Then decide if you need another sub.

 

so what your saying is run my essentially the my same setup, cuz my new amp is still 500 rms like my other alpine amp. i found a guy selling 2 12" kicker CVR's for 200$ i think im gonna take him up on the offer, visions sells them new right now for 218$ a piece there one sale too 259$ reg. and the says there brand newjust used once or something, he got them as a replacement on the older models. and he is moving cities so he is selling, think if i can ditch my type R getting those 2 kicks would be better, the important questions as ive already f'ed up is can i wire to 1 OHM
