WWith the Alpine Type R's 1042 4 ohm DVC, will this amp work ina 1 ohm load or do I need two to run each sub?

Also, since I have Dual 4ohms, do I have to run them 1ohm x 2 or is there another way to run these subs with two mono amps?

 

DVC 4 ohms = two 4 ohm Voice coils ...

If you have a pair of these .. you have four 4ohm voice coils. By wiring all of these in parallel you can get a 1ohm load.

If you wire each subwoofer in parallel, you get a pair of 2ohm loads, which you can use your mono amps on. Just be sure to level match the voltage on each if they share the same air chamber

 

So if they are using one chamber the amp gain has to set the same on both amps?

If you use separate amps for two speakers in the same airspace, you will need to be sure that the gains are set equal. You can do this with a simple multi-meter. If possible, try and use a separate airspace in this situation.

 

Dang it, I already ordered a Zenclosure and I thin they use the same airspace. Maybe I should just go with the ED Nine.1 and run it 1 ohm instead to be on the safe side, it he two alpine amps are going to be a hassle!

What do you think?

 

Just get the one amp and make life easy
