Car Stereos: Amps subwooders and standard speakers, ohm voice coils, watts rms

Question
I would like to know would this be a compatible system as far as subwooder to amp and standard speakers to amp. Here is my setup.

Amp for subwoofers is Alpine MRP-M1000 •mono subwoofer car amplifier
•600 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms (1,000 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms)
•variable low-pass filter (50-200 Hz, 24 dB/octave)
•variable bass boost (0-12 dB at 50 Hz)
•subsonic filter (15 Hz, 24 dB/octave)
•Class D amp with MOSFET power supply
•CEA-2006 compliant
•STAR Topology (minimizes internal noise and prevents ground interference)
•speaker- and preamp-level inputs
•gold-plated screw terminals
•fuse rating: 25A x 4
•4-gauge power and ground leads recommended — wiring and hardware not included with amplifier
•15"W x 2-7/16"H x 9-9/16"D

50W RMS (continuous) power x 4 @ 4 ohms, 14.4V, 20Hz - 20kHz, 1% THD
75W RMS (continuous) power x 4 @ 4 ohms, 14.4V, 20Hz - 20kHz
MOSFET power supply delivers clean power with minimal heat dispersion; rugged heat sinks and thermal management processor regulate amp temperature to help prevent overheating; overcurrent protection
Adjustable high-pass/low-pass crossover
EQ and bass EQ controls for customizable audio; continuously adjustable gain control
Discrete preamp stage
Gold-plated RCA inputs; speaker level inputs; nonfading preamp output
Top-mounted blue LED power/status indicator
STAR circuitry
Impedance: 2 or 4 ohms
Signal-to-noise ratio: 100dBA

Standard speakers are 2 for front and 2 for back(4 total)

2 sets of Alpine - 6-1/2" 2-Way Coaxial Car Speakers (Pair)
Model: SPR-17C
Compatible with MRP-F250 and MRP-F450 amplifiers

1" swivel-ring tweeters deliver crisp highs
Aluminum baskets with integrated tinsel leads
Strontium magnets
Sensitivity: 87dB
Impedance: 4 ohms

So does this sound like a good setup and will this get all the power it needs to the speakers and subwoofers and how should i wire it.

Answer
Hi Julius,

It looks to me like your amplifiers match up fairly well with your speakers and subs.

The MRP-M1000 is a perfect match for the Type R subs, provided that you wire them so they present a combined 2-ohm load to the amplifier.  This is done by wiring the subs in a series/parallel configuration--each sub will have its voice coils wired in series, then the two subs will be wired in parallel to the amplifier.  Here's a link to a diagram, found on JL Audio's tutorial pages:

The MRP-F300 4-channel amp is an acceptable match for your front and rear speakers, though it won't drive them to their maximum potential.  You'll get the 4-ohm rated power of 50 watts per channel, though the speakers can handle up to 100 watts.  You won't hurt the speakers this way, and chances are it will get as loud as you want.  If you want an amplifier that will produce 100 watts for each speaker, you can look for an MRP-F600; however, it's discontinued and may be hard to find.  Another option is the PDX4.100, but it's a much more expensive amplifier.  Again, the MRP-F300 will probably be fine.

Hope this helps!
