Which voicecoil are they? single or dual 4 ohm? By power do you mean what amp to use? or are you just wondering how to wire them for the most power out of your amp? If so, what kind of amp are you using?

let me know and I will give you some ideas/advice! 4 of those should rock in that little car.

swr-1041d or swr-1021d ?? ie. Dual 4 ohm voice coil or dual 2 ohm voice coil??

If we know that, then we can help.

Didn't you get a manual with the subs? it gives you all the ways to wire them.

i believe the type R's come in only dvc 2ohm or dvc 4ohm models. in which case you would need to run parallel/series to get either a 4ohm/1ohm with the 2ohm dvc or a 2ohm with the 4ohm dvc i believe. you will need an amp stable at 1,2 or 4ohms (dependent on setup) that puts out around 1200wrms.

I would personally go with the alpine mrd-m1000. My co worker has this set up and the windshield of his mazda b2200 shatterd into a million pieces. So if you go this rout,,,be shure you carry ear plugs.

Dodge stealth's do not exactly have the worlds biggest alternator as well, 4 subs on max draw to a matched amp is going to cause alternator issues in this vehicle, and a cap is just going to worsen it in most cases. As the vehicle is actually a Mitsubishi I would have a look for a high output alternator, I'm not an alternator man but someone on here will point you in the right direction.

Go with a good 1 ohm stable amp and pound the hell out of them, look for an orion, zapco, phoenix to really supply the power to all subs at 1 ohm
