one of my two alpine amps is pulling too hard and over heating very quickly...it is an MRV-T320 running bridged at two ohms with one alpine type r 12" two ohm sub on it....any suggestions or anywhere i can take it to get it fixed?

 

how do u have the voice coils hookd up ? try and run them at 4ohms and see if it still dose that

 

well i thought of that but only one of the amps is pulling too hard....they are both set up the same way and its not the speacker cause i swithed the speakers with amps and it still did it and i tryed switching rca's (switching them) and it still did it

 

That amp isnt nearly enough for that sub anyway...get a more powerful amp.

my .02

 

Turn the gains down.

 

ur prolly crankin the gains like a muther f'er to make that sub sound decent on that amp. Turn them down....

This is why people say "Underpowering a sub can blow it" because people turn the gains up to make it sound decently loud and send it hella distortion causing a sub to blow. Get a bigger amp or turn the gains down....besides I hope you have warrenty on that Type R cuz they arent the most durable subs out haha (i know many people who can go for that)

 

well ive had the subs for almost a year now and they are fine and the gains arnt that high they are like half way cause i understand that all that stuf can happen they are just a temp till i get my 500 monos...
so is there anywhere i can take the amp to get it fixed

 

street sound will check it for you
