Ok - I feel like I've read 30 threads about wiring amps, but am still totally confused.

Direct question - how do I wire the following components to get the best sound quality?

1. Infinity 1042w - Dual Voice Coil (4 ohms on each coil) subwoofer
2. Alpine MRV-F301 subwoofer - 50Wx4 @ 4 ohm (60x4@2 ohm)and 120x2 that can be bridged from 4 channels to 2.

If this is not enough info, let me know. I've wired the subs to produce a 2ohm load, but am not clear if the amp can support this. It is supposed to produce 100 watts RMS at 4 ohms - if it can do 4 ohms, would it possibly have a problem doing 2 ohms? Thanks!

You're going to want to redo the sub wiring. IN fact I would say add a second terminal cup to the box so you can wire each voice coil to each terminal cup. Then bridge the amp, channels 1 + 2 to one voice coil, and channels 3 + 4 to the other voice coil.

Thank you - I was thinking about this solution but didn't know if I was just full of $%#. I guess my other alternative is to get a mono amp that is stable down to 2 ohms, and just run everything off that. Your suggestion is probably the simpler, cleaner solution for getting easy power off the amp and powering both voice coils independently. Thanks again!

No problem.
