Picking up two low profile pioneer 12" subs 1400watt......I am wondering do u guys think a 2 channel 2000 watt amp will power these properly? or no?

 

does the RMS match up well on the amp and the subs? its all about RMS, not max

 

ill check into that

 

from prior knowledge, pioneer has high peak power ratings but their rms as well below half on average. those are probably around 50-350 watts rms. I wouldnt go more than 10% above that rating and only if its in a sealed enclosure.

 

well these speakers are saying 1400 watt max 350 nominal (rms) so im guessing a 800 or a 1000 watt 2 channel amp would work pretty good... i mean i am in a rcsb so its prolly gonna hit hard as hell right? let me know guys.....i havent done speakers since rockford fosgate was running **** and kenwood

 

get a mono amp and run the subs parrallel. mono amps have other adjustment only for subwoofers.

 

Let me know how those sound, and what Amp you end up going with.

I heard a lot of good things about those subs,,, I think I need one more totalk me into getting them.

What box did you have for them?? I see some boxes on ebay for about 75,,,any good?
thanks

 

you need a 700w RMS mono block

 

remember you don't have to get a powerful amp. thats only if you know you want to turn it up and blow you truck apart. You can get a alpine amp thats called and mrp-450 i think and it will sound great. i got a amp thats 210 rms pushing one 12 and my overhead temp thing rattles like crazy, my rear veiw fell off when i was driving, it was the coolest thing i have ever seen. i would get a amp in your price range. it will be better to have everything match but a good quality amp will be fine.

 

maybe because your sub only takes 200w RMS. his are 350 each. he needs a 700w RMS mono block amp.
