I just bought 2 2ohm dual vc L5 solo barics. Im wanting to put these on an alpine mrd m500. Is this enough power and did I buy the right ohm load subs? If so how do I wire the subs to get to 2 ohm and is this amp stable below 2 ohms? Thanks

90 dB THD at Rated RMS Power 1 % Power Output RMS Power at 2 Ohms 500 W x 1 RMS Power at 4 Ohms 250 W x 1

Never mentioned it was stable at under 2 ohms but it will be stable at 2 ohms if they are giving stats for it.

why did you ask this twice?

and if you wire those subs correctly you can get a 2 ohm load to the amp, so i don't know why you need it to be stable below two ohms which it obviously isn't.

For ease of wiring you could have went 4ohm Single voice coil and parraleled them to make a 2 ohm load.

should i go that rought and sell the 2 subs and get 1 4 ohm or do you think it will push 2?

If you did go that route adding a sub only breaks the system down to 2 ohms hearby doubling the power the amp puts out. I would wait on it for now cause haibane or sr20 could help with wiring them up i don't know how ohmage breaks down on 2 ohm dvc. Also look at one of haibanes threads it has a thread in there to help you understand car audio better and would help you in the future.

so ya adding a sub if you have 4 ohms svc in parallel would not reduce power to your subs. and each would then recive 250 watts rms. (the same one sub would get when its running at the 4 ohms load on the amp)
