that amp is way too underpowered for that sub, you need 500 rms to get the most out of it

that jbl makes 284 rms bridged on 2 channels

[ooodanooo]

:(

i have spoken to the guys from c.a.d an they seem to think it will be ok?? are they just fobbing me off or should these work together??

cheeers guys

as pred says amp is under powered
it will run them but ya wont be able to use them to any where near there max as the amp will eva blow or turn it self off due to not being able to cope
have a look around mate and get something that can :y:

[matthewslee]

or run 2 amps

im confused mate... you have "two of these mothers"...

do you mean,

2 amps and 2 subs,
or two things - one amp and one sub

that has a massive impact on wiring lol.



Yes - the sub will be 'ok' as its a 2ohm DVC, so itll put either 1 or 4 ohm on the amp... and the amp says:

284 Watts RMS x 2 channels at 4 ohms

So yeah itll work... but as Preds says, to get the most from the sub you want a 500wrms amp... otherwise you might aswel have brought a cheaper sub...

but to answer your question, an 8awg wiring kit will work... however i'd go for the 4awg as youll have a bigger earth and you can upgrade more easily later on in life ;)

cheers for yr help people! im not intending on spending loads on the ice i just want something that will sound good! im thinking about returning it for this as ideally i want to run my components off tht amp aswell!

does anybody know if thats any good ^^^

also these are my components so will i be able to run that rockford fosgate sub and these components ???

cheeeeeers

that sub wont take the power mate lol.

i think you should take a look at this

http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/alpine-sws1222d-p-3674.html

and wire one channel bridged, like this

now the problem is with running comps from the same amp as you sub, is you now have two channels left @ 100wrms (4ohm). Those comps are only 60wrms (4ohm)..

they will work, but you'll have to keep the gains much lower than normal... which is hard as its tempting to whack it up lol. So yeah, if you already have them, they'll do.. my only advice, change the sub ;)

[ooodanooo]

righttt! so on that diagram the sub is just using the 2 channels! so am i right in saying on my 4 channel amp, the other 2 channels will power my components? also is it a bad thing to have more power than you need, i mean i run the comps off my 4x52w head unit an they sound quality already so i probobaly wouldn't blast them anyway??
cheers for all yr help aswell :)

alsooooo ive actually received the alpine type r sub and was just wondering, would that cheaper alpine one sound better on my amp orrr is it just the fact im not using the type r to its full 500w rms potential?? because its going to cost me more in postage to send it back if you get my drift lol
