hello experts ,

I have an altima 2005 and I have already  replaced the four OEM speakers with Alpine's R-Type speakers

in the front : SPR-17LS

in the back : SPR-69LP

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

now im planning to intall a 12''  R-type subwoofer with

this amplifier : MRD-M605

to acheive the best configuration without affecting the car electrcity or the car head unit or draining the battery or over heating the amplifier

should I go with this subwoofer

SWR-1242D(4Ù + 4Ù)

or

SWR-1222D (2Ù + 2Ù)

they are the same in everything except the ohms

and thanks very very much who would give me a little help

Your amplifier is capable of a 2-ohm load, so use the DVC 4-ohm speaker, both VCs in parallel.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

The SWR-1242D, wire it in parallel like DYohn said.
