New member Username: Giant2378Post Number: 1 Registered: May-04 | I have 2 12" Alpine Type R dual 4 ohm drivers and a MRD-M500 Amp and I cannot figure out the wiring at all, I have tried many different ways and nothing works! I have tried this: http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/ISEO-rgbtcspd/learningcenter/car/subwoofers_wi ring.html?subs=2&impedance=DVC4x2 And I have also tried this: https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/car-audio/5980.html And nothing seems to work, Both subs function fine by them selves, any suggestions would be awesome, Thanks. |

I'd strongly advise a sealed box setup doing this, as you'll have a bit more than their rated power, and the added damping of the sealed boxes will help compensate, and prevent damage to the subs. Also, while you'll lose maybe +3dB going from ported to sealed, you'll hit a lot deeper and more accurately without coloration or harmonics associated with porting an enclosure, and you'll get a lovely flat response down to about 9Hz. |
