Another which amp thread for a noob :)

I need to find an amp, or at least know what volltage amp and how many channels will i need in one, would like to go with pioneer or sound stream, as they seem to be very high quality. Not looking for somethign over expensive. Proberly $250us if possible, but can go higher.

I will be running two PIONEER -TSW306DVC-12" Component Subwoofer 1000W POWER. THe box will be almost exactly the reconmended size, if that makes a difference.

Size: 12 inch

Rec. Sealed Box Dims: 0.85 - 1.75 cu.ft.

Rec. Ported Box Dims: not recommended

Free Air Usage: not recommended

Sensitivity: 89 dB

Frequency Response: 18-500 Hz

Recommended RMS Power: 400W

Peak Power Handling: 1000W

Impedance: dual 4 ohms subwoofer wiring options

I will be running the stock front speakers for now i think, but may change later on, i will be runnign in the rear - PIONEER TS-D691R 2-Way Speaker with 350 Watts Max Power.

» Size: 6 X 9

» Sensitivity: 91 dB

» Frequency Response: 22-32,000 Hz

» Recommended RMS Power: 40-80W

» Peak Power Handling: 350W

And the deck will be - Pioneer DEHP6800MP In-Dash CD/MP3/WMA/WAV Receiver

So yea, looking for a reconmended amp and also how many channels and what power i would be needing.

Thanks for any help //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

yuk!please do not use pionner amps,they ****!soundstream is ok,but there are alot better ones out there in that price range.and get a class d mono amp for the subs.they are alot more efficient!you'll need something in the range of 800-1000watts

you will need to change the front speakers to keep up with the rest of the system,stock fronts will not get loud enough and will distort!

i would get better fonts and run them off a 100 x2 amp and run the 6x9's off the headunit.

what kind of car is this going in?
