ive had one 300 watt alpine amp pushin my 2 alpine type S 12"s, and today i got another 200 watt alpine amp from my friend, so i wired them up and now they both turn on and the new amp bumps them, my old one turns on and says ER-3 which i looked up online and i think means excessive current? im not sure what that exactly means but it makes no sense that 1 would work and the other wouldnt since theyre both hooked up to basically the same wires

 

A less vague description of how they're hooked up would be nice. Model numbers of amps, HU model, associated wiring, etc.

 

Can you draw a diagram of how everything is hooked up together?

 

excessive current? im guessing it is trying to tell you the Ohm loads is to low...

what year are the type S subs from? are they dual voice coil? if yes i can almost guarantee that you hooked them up to 1 Ohm.

What model Amp do you have?

let us know

 

alright i got last years model DVC Type S 12"s...i have them wired up 4ohms...i have a MRD M300 older V12 amp and an MRP F240 amp...i have them running off of their own power wires, but the thing is i wanna distribute the power from both amps to both subs evenly. i tried wiring it a couple different ways but its not workin...i know this is a pain in the ass but its all i got to work with right now cus my moneys tight

thanks for the help but i give up on this system haha...im sellin it in a week and gettin two Type R 12"s and a 1000 watt PDX alpine to push it

 

that would work and all with the PDX amp but those subs sound better at 2 ohms...but thats my opinion

Edit: what type ARRRGH's are you getting? dual4ohm or dual 2ohm?

 

yeah i know...that amp only runs at 4ohms but im thinkin bout gettin the new rockford 1000.1 channel...idk if alpine makes another 1000 watt amp that can run at 2 ohms...any suggestions would be sweet

 

rockford has an amp sold at best buy that is 1200RMS at 1 ohm...two type Rs to that sounds amazing... we have done it twice at my best buy... the kenwood 9103D can run 1 ohm as well but it will heat up more then the RF(get a service plan)
