dual 4ohm or single 4ohm?

[immajackuup 0]

Hi everybody!!!!!,thinking of buying the RL-i 10 but i'm not sure should i get dual 4ohm or single 4ohm.

the amp i have right now is a alpine m850

500 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms (800 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms)

[BKOLFO4 29]

The amp will work with either.

The dual 4 will maximize the output of the amp, but if you think you might ever decide to add a second sub, get the single 4 ohm and then 2 of them in parallel will give you a 2 ohm load.

i think u got it back ward,i thought if i get a 4dual ohm sub it will run at 2ohm and single 4 ohm run at 4ohm??

i'm so confuse.

A dual 4 will run at 2 ohm by itself but 2 single 4 ohm drivers together will run at 2 ohm. Thats what he is saying.

so i should get the single 4ohm then so in the future i can run 2 sub.

also how can u make a mono amp run 2sub? split wire?

no, he doesnt have it backwards. your amp puts out the most power at 2 ohms. so buying one dual 4 ohm sub, in parallel, would give you a 2 ohm load and the amp would be giving you all its power. but if you later plan on running 2 of them, 2 dual 4 ohm subs would either 4 ohms which would be giving you less power to both subs than you were giving to just one, but 2 single 4 ohms would be perfect at a 2 ohm load.

so i should just buy the single 4ohm because my amp is pushing 500rms at 4ohm,in the future if i want to add another sub.

Obviously that's up to you, if you think you'll ever want a second sub.

As for wiring two subs, you can just put both of their speaker wires into the same terminals on the amp.

but the RL-i 10 can only take 500rms so the single 4ohm is perfect match with my amp??

[///M5 2,833]

It'll match fine either way. Considering I would tend to lean towards the single 4 ohm as you won't "need" the extra power and it offers more future flexibility. Of course outlining your goals would help to insure that makes sense for you.

damn this suck now i have second thoughts of getting the RL-p 12.

are these sub sq or bass??

wonder do the RL-i or RL-p even out perform jlw7?

My ass outperforms the W7.

[immajackuup 0]

so tempting to get the RL-i 10,i hate it when this happen.

SQ or bass? What does that even mean? Do SQ-oriented subs not play bass?

I'd take Rl-S over W7

I'd swear by TC subs, but W7 is a very nice product...my only beef with them is the price.

You'll know an SPL sub. They have low Q, low MMS, low X-max, high Fs, and huge thermal power handling.

what about RL-i 10inch vs JLW7 10 inch?

about the same?

Don't even think about the W7, really. If anything a W6 and the RL-i10 would be more comparable. I'd still choose the RL-p though.

i use to have a w6 10inch and it was alright didn't see nothing great about it.

If I could afford a W7 to take a shit on I would.

[///M5 2,833]

Actually both the w6 and w7 are GREAT subs. Their MSRP is a bit out of whack, but it isn't the subs fault.
