4 ohm dual voice sub for a 4 ohm amp
Hi there,
I just purchased an Alpine SWR-1242D 12" subwoofer which has dual 4 ohm voice coils and a 500W RMS. I also bought the Alpine MRP-M800 amplifier which can support 500W RMS x 1 @ 4 ohm and 800W RMS x 1 @ 2 ohm. I wanted to know how or if I need to wire it as 4 ohms as to reach the max 500W RMS. Everywhere I look it seems like is can only be wired as 2 ohms in parallel or 8 ohms in series. If anyone had some thoughts that would be great.

It is tough to say you "wont" or "cant" damage the sub, but it is harder if you dont get crazy with the volume or gain ****
