I was looking at the pioneer premier ts-w3002spl and ts-w3004spl and want to know if i bought one of these subs and had an amp that was like this:

1000rms X 1 at 2ohm

500rms X 1 at 4ohm

which sub would i buy to get that 1000watts??

Those subs are dual voice coils, so if you want 1 sub to get a 2ohm load on the amp than u need to get the D4 (Dual 4 Ohm) version. Or the ts-w3004spl model, if you get the ts-w3002spl you can only wire it at 1 or 4 ohms.

There are many guides that can show you how to wire your subs, rockford fostgate has a good one

Sounddomain has one too

If you want 2 subs, get the dual 2ohm, if you just want 1 sub, get the dual 4.

Like mentioned above, those link will direct you to wiring diagrams that will show you which configuration is best for you.
