What is the best amp for two pioneer ts-w303r subs?

What kind of amp do i need for my two 12inch pioneer Subs?

  • Pioneer TSW306 1000 WATTS MAX 400 WATTS RMS SINGLE VOICE COIL

  • Answer:

    Use a mono amp and wire the subs in parallel. You'll get a 2ohm load and that's what mono amps specialize in. You'll want an amp with no less than 600 rms but no more than 1000 rms (keep the gain at 75% or less and keep the bass boost down). An amp rated at 800 would work best because amps are always underrated. Good amp companies would include JL, MTX, Kicker, Precision Power, Hifonics, Pheonix Gold, there are a lot more. But your Pioneer and Sony and Alpine, etc amps aren't bad either. It would be worth it to buy a nicer amp now, for longevity, and in case you want to upgrade later to different subs.

make sure u find out first that how many ohms ur sub is if its 4ohms u need = 2 channel amp if u have 2 ohms = mono class d amp and make sure u get the amp that pretty much the rms watts ur sub

the quality of the amp matters. and different companies have different ratings. I have a JL audio 12" and nothing but the best will work for it because the magnet is so big. Good amps are phoenix golds and fosgate

You need either a 400 watt RMS X 2 @ 4 ohms amp and wire each sub to each channel. -or- You need an 800 watt RMS X 1 @ 2 ohms amp and wire the subs like so: http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/sparky3489/PARALLEL.jpg Go here for good info on enclosures (and other tips): http://spkrbox1.spaces.live.com/ ________________ I got a good laugh out of this, "the quality of the amp matters. and different companies have different ratings. I have a JL audio 12" and nothing but the best will work for it because the magnet is so big." All you need to look for when buying an amp is if it's CEA-2006 Compliant. If it is, then it produces the watts RMS stated. ALL companies who follow this compliance will have the same ratings scale. Just because it's JL doesn't make it any more "special" than any other sub, nor does the magnet of a sub. The coil is where the magic starts. This guy is funny. _____________ To the next guy, "keep the gain at 75% or less..". BULL*HIT!!! NEVER set the gains this way!!! ALWAYS match the RMS volts of the HU with the gain on an amp. If you don't set the gains correctly, you could damage the subs. The gain controls allow you to match the amplifier(s) to the head unit. Not all head units have the same maximum preamp output voltage. Some head units are capable of producing 9 vrms out while others are only capable of 1.5 vrms out.

at least 1000 watts turn the gain to about half and adjust from manufacture specs. two channels
