    hi can someone here help me please, i'm new to the audio world but would like to hit the ground running . Dont understand how to use this post either but still trying anyway I have 2 pioneer subs 3000w max each and 1000w rms. What i want to know is the Pioneer prs-d5000spl amp which max is 3000w and rms is 750w is enough to push these two subs or do i have to buy 2 amps.

    I wouldn't buy that amp...What impedance are your subs??? How much money do you wanna spend??


    Doesn't matter what subs you have....if you don't have a good enclosure than you won't be that loud or sound good

    Hi, thanks for replying
    I would like to spend under $500US. The impedance of the subs are 2 ohm or 8 ohm (4 ohm dvc)
    you said you wouldnt buy this amp why?

    This amp is only stable down to 2 ohms.

    With your two subs you have a final load (using both coils) of either 1, 4, or 16 ohms.

    At 4 ohms you'd be giving each sub about 300 clean watts

    The pioneer amp has 1500w @ 2ohm thats more than the amp you recomended which only has 1475 @ 1ohm and 1000w @ 2ohm:confused: . Why this amp over the pioneer ?

    yeah sure that amp will work for ONE sub.

    That other amp is 1 ohm stable. If you want to use the Pioneer amp you will have to buy two of them. Reread post #4

    ok, but tell me, is there any sound change when you wire down the speaker from 4ohm to 1ohm ?

    sound wise...there is no difference between any impedences with the same woofers
