Is this amp .5ohm stable .. Need to power (2) 2ohmDVC 12s Alpine Type Rs

I haven't tried it at .5 but the amp is rated only 1 ohm. I have it pushing 2 l5 12. It is a very strong amp

It is 1 ohm stable but I've ran mine at .5 since I got it with no problems. It will void ur warrenty though

In my opinion that amp is not stable at that impedance. I have 3 of those amps in 1.33ohm config and 1.5 ohm config.I would either invest in a different amp or buy 2 one for each sub.

it would fry them if it could run at .5 lowest i've been able to run it was .79 (.8)ohms any lower and it goes protect. it fried my friends type r 15s at 1 ohm. if you're still looking at getting this amp then runs it in 2ohms and give it a try.

Yeah 2 ohm but i like the mono blocks because they 1ohm stable anyway rather you 1ohm it are not with a 5 channel either its a mids an high amp are a all in one either way you will over heat that amp if it ant the true watts on it an blow it up

The amp choice is really up to you and how many subs and how are you going to wire them up. I have one 12" Type R 4ohm sub wired to 2ohm. Using a Hifonics Zeus 1800 watt mono amp. Assuming that the amp is "actually" capable of pushing 1800w at 1ohm. It should be pushing 900w to the Type R. It sounds amazing in the trunk of my 96 Impala SS. Go with the 4ohm sub if youre going to use two subs, wire them down to 2ohm and find an amp capable of pushing a solid 2000w. Amps will state total power at 1ohm, 2ohm will be half that.

Im running 2 p2 12in with this amp. Its ok... i recommend you run at least a 1200 watt amp with those p3s... i have the 1200 watt on 2 p2s in my yukon.... sounds real good!!!

im running a 1200w boss auto amp briged but if your going to run 2 of theses i wood us a 2800w amp

By 2 ohm stable I assume you mean they are dual 4 ohm that can be wired in paralell and dropped to two ohm. But yes this amp is too much id go with something smaller. Maybe the BRX2000.1d. It would still be a bit too much but can be adjusted to the subs. If you buy the 2400 you would have to wire the subs in series to raise the impedence.

Or 93watts x4 at 2 ohm is what my alpine sheet says i definately suggest alpine amps ive had a 500 watt mono for 4 years now still goin strong

Absolutely. Running 2000/2400 watts to 2 Alphine 12s at 1ohm for months, no issues!

Tuff q. Cause there's many variables u have to look at like I got mine wired for 2. ohm with 0 Guage and got 2 amps a kicker 1100 and a weird brand that's 2500 but both are 2 ohm stable I wish I could have 6000 watts to match my subs but my car is a Volvo and not much room to upgrade my alinator to be able to pull 6000 watts bUT deff. Do 0 Guage so u don't ever have to upgrade u r wiring anymore that's your I did it... if u want shoot me a call or text be a lot easier to explain than a huge paragraph or a lot of info .. 5098287627

Yea it wilk work id recommend getting a bigger amp tho. I got two of these wired down to 1ohm with a planet audio ac5000.1d so they are gettin around 1500rms each at 1ohm and man do they pound

It is not a one ohm stable. It is a 4 ohm amplifier. You can play with the ohms to hook up 2 subwoofers. I have 2 10 Inch dual 4 subs, to get 4ohms.

The alpine 12 is alright. It's a great speaker but it's rms handling isn't very high. I bought two of these. Dual 4 ohm . They hit hard but not hard enough. Remember, you get what you pay for. I have one orion hcca 12 that blows both of these out.

yes this amp would be perfect... 500 rms amp pushing 2x250rms should be good... you want the amp rms equal to the total sub rms

i would not get this amp i blew mine within 5 months of having it along with 2 12s if i was you i would get a lanzar distinct half ohm monoblock amp it is used for comp and it is really reliable for the price

Since most amps run at 80% efficiency it will still be a little strong for the sub. But all you have to do is turn down the power going to it a little and it will work fine together. And th p2 to me can handle a bit more power than they rate it at to.

I checked the specs on this amp and it is two ohm stable. No need to bridge. With just these 4 speakers and single amp, you should get 100x4 @ 2 ohm(RMS). Which is within the range of the speakers. The Peak power is 235x4 @4ohm, which may be slightly higher @ 2 ohm. This is just above the recommended power for the speakers, which should not pose a problem as long as you don't max out the gains and volume on the head unit.

I run a mtx jackhammer on mine in 2ohms running 600 RMS all the time. This sub will take the power. You willve working that amp. It will push the sub...but maybe for about 4-6 months before heating issues take its toll. It will work...but I would put a mono or 2 Chanel amp.
