I was just wondering about a new set up. It consist of a Alpine MRD-M1005 Amplifier and a Alpine SWX-1242D subwoofer. The amp puts out 1000W x 1 rms at 2 ohms and 700W x 1 rms at 4 ohms and the subwoofer has a rms of 1000W and 3000W max. The sub says it is 4 ohms but I was just wondering since im new to this if I would be able to put 1000W at 2 ohms to the sub or shold I go with the 700W at 4 ohms. Also what would happen if anything if I did put 2 ohms and if I do buy this system would it be a decent system for a first timer? I am planning on buying a capacitor also and I already have a Rockford Fosgate 1500 watt amp kit. Thank you and hope to get some good responses?

first read the FAQ's about capacitors.. that combo will work fine and the sub will get a 1000rms... when using a 4ohm sub it will see a 2ohm load, wire the sub in parallel to see a 2ohm load and you are ready to go! :excited: , also for the amp kit if you want... go to http://www.knukonceptz.com ... GREAT stuff for cheap... their kits are awesome.. used em first hand as many others on this board.. but if you can get a good deal on the stuff then good luck!
