New member Username: Noon125Post Number: 2 Registered: Apr-09 | I actually just bought the car and it comes with the alpine amp so the price isn't an issue. The only thing new I would be installing is the sub and thats why I was curious if the amp is good enough. The amp has dual 2 ohm voice coils. |

Gold Member Username: BonhamdTraverse City, MI Post Number: 1865 Registered: Nov-07 | it will work just fine. you can wire it either way shown in the link below because the pdx amplifiers put out the same amount of power into any ohm load 1-4. http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=1&I=22 do you already have the sub? |

Gold Member Username: BonhamdTraverse City, MI Post Number: 1866 Registered: Nov-07 | i would recommend a different sub though...dont get me wrong - the L5 is an alright subwoofer but you can get better for your money |
