Hi guys, I'm new and hoping someone can help me. I've searched the site but couldn't find an exact answer.
I have an all-Alpine setup and I need to know how to best wire a MRD-M501 to a SWR-1241D. Do I have more than 1 option, can I run it at 2 or 4 ohms? Don't really know what I'm doing here so could use some input...
Is this the best way?

really?,,,i bought mine off ebay so no warranty...what amps were you running?..ive seen the 15's rated at 500rms with 1000watts to them and thye took it like a champ...but im definitely going to be careful but if they blow then i guess that just gives me a reason to get the 15's right lol...right now im trying to find someone with 2 type r 15's ..id like to trade my 2 12's and some cash for them...know anyone?..anyone know anyone?..lol |
