What Amp to buy for two Pioneer 12" Subs

[MEESEN]

Hi guys,

Ive got myself 2 Pioneer 12" sub (TS-w303R) (4ohm) and i need a amp to run them both... im abit confused about the peak power and RMS and all that... I also have a tight budget of $250 inc. postage/shipping.

What would you guys recommend?... and if you dont know what should i be looking for in amps? like ohm wise, RMS wise and Peak output wise?

Thanks,

ignore PEAK go by rms and ohm, so 2 12" @ 4ohm each, you will probably want to look at a 2ohm amp preferably a mono block so there 250rms each so look for a 500rms @ 2ohm, something like the Rockford Fosgate R500-1 is a great amp for running 2 12's from my experience you can get it for 250 shpped from us

Thanks mate, I can get the Rockford Fosgate PRIME R500-1 for $200 delivered... gotta love the exchange rate at the moment haha... I just checked out your ride looks mint... o and btw when i wire the subs up do i wire them parallel or in a series coz im not entirely sure about that either

[Nic92]

ohh yeah parallel is 2ohm, i think i got mine for 270 or something with a 4 gauge wiring kit, a while ago anyway GL with ur system

i know its been a while but i was just wondering if i was to get rid of one of the 12 " subs and just run with one what amp would you suggest i use?

Something that makes around 250Wrms at 4 ohm... Most brands have a 2 channel that will bridge to 1 channel to make that power, so take your pick.

[Nic92]

you could just use that RF amp and put 320rms on it

[MEESEN]

so its safe to put 320rms on it is it?

if your careful with the volume and know how to tune it right, then yes it is safe , better to give more than give less :P
