Amp and Sub

[JazzScreamer 1]

I have a few spare 10" Alpine Type S dual 2ohm subs that have been sitting around for a little over a year with no home. I'm planning on using one of them in a friends sealed box (.75) running it at 1ohm using the Zed Minilith. The Alpine is rated at 300rms. The Zed is rated a bit over 600rms at 1ohm. Id this too much for that sub, or should I just wire it to a 4ohm load.

id go with the 4ohm load :0

as you said the sub has been sitting around for a year !?! longer than id let 1 sitt

might be aged ? sourronds ripp, spiders give ect ect ect

The sub is fine... sitting for a year isn't going to shit to anything.

Run it @ 1 ohm the Type R can handle it.

i only said that cuss if it has been sitting around would give it time to break in & i hooked up a pair of 10" JL subs that a friend let sit around and the surounds crummbled... he had em in his garage

The Alpine's have rubber surrounds anyways... those JL's were probably the W0's, which are foam.

The Zed is too pretty an amp for that sub....

send me the zed and I'll send you an alpine 2 channel that you can bridge....

Fair trade imho

LOL

All the JL surrounds are and always have been foam. They do have a tendency to deteriorate after a long time inthe garage. I had a set of W6s that went to hell after 5 years in the garage.
