Need help with wiring my Alpine system

[Blackcrow64]

Ok, here's whats up. I just purchased a Alpine V12 amp (MRD-M605) with a single 12" sub (1222D). I am trying to figure out how to wire this up correctly because the sub has dual voice coils. My previous Rockford system was an easy setup, a 2 channel amp with 2 single voice coil 10"s...

So, how do I wire up a dual voice coil sub to a mono channel amp without messing up the ohms and blowing something up?

if you go to the alpine website http://www.alpine-usa.com and then click on support > faq > speakers & amps > number 1 under subwoofers and then download the pdf file. in the pdf file at the top of the 2nd wiring diagram (2 ohms dual-voice coil sub) it tells you how to wire the sub correctly.


then to adjust the amp (i believe the one you have is a v12 series amp) do the same thing: http://www.alpine-usa.com > support > faq > speakers & amps > click on number 1 under amps and then click on the downloadable PDF document again and that tells you how to adjust your amp.


if all else fails you can try http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/wo...igurations.asp

Awesome, thanks man. The wiring diagram on their site is way different than the ones they included with the sub. The ones you sent me make perfect sense. Thanks!
