Wiring a Alpine MRV-1505 to a 15" Type R Alpine Subwoofer 4 ohm DVC

Draven2772 · 09-18-2008, 05:30 PM

Anyone who can help me with this would be more then amazing as I am having some difficulties. I have a Alpine 2 channel MRV-1505 Amplifier which I want to connect it to my 15" Alpine Type R 4 Ohm DVC. The specifications for the amplifier are:
RMS Continuous Power (at 14.4V 20-20kHz):
2 x 225W @ 4 Ohms (0.08% THD)
2 x 450W @ 2 Ohms (0.3% THD)
1 x 900W @ 4 Ohm Bridged (0.3% THD)

what is my best bet at a wiring configuration for maximum power, I accidently ordered a 4ohm model of the alpine instead of the 2 ohm and I cannot return it lol so this is what I am stuck with

So if the woofer is dual coil as most new ones are then just hook it up like the 2X 450 watss @2 Ohms see if that works for you then?
Do you want to sell this one to get the original you have? Let me know.........
