i have an alpine type R sub and the MRD m605 amp and a 1.2 cap. how should the jumpers be put so i get it to 2 ohms or the most power with out burning it up. i dont think i have it right

what jumpers? if they are on the cap.....never mind, get rid of the cap. try to find some sucker to buy it from you.

ok, is it the dual 2 ohm or dual 4 ohm ?
He is asking how to "jumper" the sub for the right impedance - it has 2 voice coils

its the dual 2 ohms. i called alpine and they told me that theres no way to get the power out of it with it the combination they told me i had to either get another 2 ohms sub like it or get another amp... so i guess my next question is which would be better to get another sub that matches and wire them both in 1 ohms so they would add up to a 2 ohms load and have around 300 rms on both. or get 2 of the type s subs and have max rms on them? so bascially what it boils down to is will it effect it very much as far as sound with them under powered a little bit

if you have to go with that amp get the type s because something that is getting it's max rms will sound better then one only getting about half of it's rms.
