Hi, I've got a question.
I've got a Alpine amp. (4-channel) and want to install 2 subwoofers. I can get 2 Rockford subs (2x2ohm)for a very good price. So is it possible to install these with this amplifier?

And how???? (I've got no clue)
Please help

That wont work at all. That Subwoofer link you listed says that the subs are 400W RMS and 800 peak. To run that you will need about a 800W RMS AMP. Looks to me like the link you give above says for that AMP your average watt output is under 100W. Sounds to me like that AMP is designed for Front and Rear Component speakers. At 400W RMS those subs are power suckers (i know because i have one) Get a big AMP. Alpine is fine, RF and Alpine combo could sound pretty good.

Smoke it, you need to start your own thread if you want answers. Don't hijack everyone elses, you'll get answered quicker if you start your own thread. It also keeps threads from being ridiculously long. I answered your question in the "Bridging" topic, by the way.
