Question kicker + alpine

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.

Re: kicker + alpine

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

Re: kicker + alpine

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.

Re: kicker + alpine

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)
