Component Subwoofer...

[Sam16hutch]

Hi Guys,

This is a question to all the ICE Boffs out there...

Just went to install my sub (Alpine Type R) and realised there are 2 sets of + & - terminals on each side??

I rigged up one normally, from amp - to box - then straight to one set of terminals off the sub, works fine...

What is the other set for??

Cheers, Sam

Is it a dual coil sub? Which model is it?

What amp? Is it 2ohm stable?

Just a 2 Channel Amp...

Have got it bridged at the moment, for maximum output...

Any ideas?!?!

Cheers, Sam

Yes but which make/model? Need the specs.

Need to know wheather its capable or being run 2ohm stable (i doubt it by the description) or 8ohm so I can tell you how to wire it. I'm not asking for the fun of my health.
