right now i have a jl e6450 amp

http://www.carsound.com/articles/publish/article_268.shtml

and im getting these type 4 components

http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/products/p...ng=en&tab=F

the amp does 70 watts at 4 ohms and 110 watts at 2 ohms

my question is can u wire components to get the 2 ohm load? cause the alpine type r components are 4 ohm and i dont want them getting 70 watts when they can be getting the 110

You can't, and the Type R's are so hideous for midbass it probably won't matter anyway.

Don't get caught up in impedance, plenty of people use 8 ohm drivers and still have plenty of output

ya i just want to make sure i can actually still hear music with loud bass!

would this just be a better amp to run those components with?

Neither is a bad choice, but the amp you have now is fine, it's just the speakers that are subpar.

well u got any reccomendations? thats what a couple people recomennded on this site i am open for suggestions though budget around 150

I'll second the alpine sets sounding like crap i hate the sound of anything alpine it just grates my ears for some reason

I really like these for that budget

Havent heard em look decent though

You actually have a budget of $300 if you were looking at two sets. IMO you'd be WAY better off spending that all on a single set.

If he does a single set the RE xxx are pretty nice

I ahve some Type-R coaxils I wanna get rid of for next to nothing...

If your interested shoot me a pm..

so what ur saying is i should spend 300 on just 2 components rather then 300 on four?

Definitely. It would help to spend near that much on deadening as well

still lookin for some other options

how would these be?

Better, I'd rather skip the passives and go active, though...

what exactly is the diffrence?

what exactly is the diffrence?

You wire each individual driver to its own channel on the amp and let either your Amp or hu handle all the crossovers...

good read but I wouldn't stop at just that but rather keep researching the differences and what fits your needs best.
