This Amplifier has the following specs: - 230 Watts RMS x2 (4 Ohms) - Not Stable at 2 Ohms - Not Stable at 1 Ohm - 460 Watts RMS Bridged (4 Ohms) With these specs, you can't even power one Alpine Type-R properly. In my opinion, I suggest taking the Boss amplifier back, and looking into something different that can do the job better. However, if you have the DVC 4 Ohm versions of the Alpine Type-R's, you can wire your Subwoofers in a Series/Parallel circuit to create a 4 Ohm load. This way, you can use the Bridged option on this Amplifier. Below is a link on how the connection should look: http://images.the12volt.com/12voltimages/2_4ohm_dvc_4ohm.gif If you purchased the DVC 2 Ohm version of the Alpine Type-R's, then im sorry to say but you are SOL. Unless you purchase an Amplifier that is 2 Ohm or 0.5 Ohm stable, I suggest just taking everything back and starting over. |
