Hello,

I have just bought:

Alpine SWR-1042D (4Ohm+4Ohm) <------ does that make it a 4 Ohm DVC?? This is really confusing me :confused:

More info here:

And this amp:

Alpine MRD-M605

It say's:

yes mate, 2 4ohm voice coils.

connect them in series to make an 8ohm load or in parallel for a 2ohm load

to connect it in parallel put your live and negative onto a red and black and plug them little wires you get with it to match red+red and black+black

or for series(which you don't want to do but i say so you know) you wuld connect the positive to the red of one and the negative to the lack of the other and stick the connecting cable in the middle

From bengie's excellent description here, I'd say you need to wire in parallel, to get the best setup with the amplifier you describe. Follow the bit I bolded up. Sounds like a nice setup though.

them alpine subs are nice, i have a pair of the type S's in my boot

the connections are the best i've come accross, sprung toggle thingies for each voice coil and all four in a line

they even give you a pair of banana type(i think) interconnects for you to setup them up as you wish

that amp is pretty much perfect for that sub as the sub is 500Wrms and the amp is 600WrmsX1@2ohm

jobs a good'un

Ive just bought one of them amps aswell for the pick up, powering two 12" Pioneer subs in parallel at 2 ohms.
