[David.lee 10+ year member]

Hey guys I know this has been asked before but im going to ask it again.. You guys on these fourms have been soooo helpful with me purchasing car audio, you guys have saved me from buying very crappy speakers lol so im going to ask for help one last time for a while... I need to buy an amp for my 2 newly purchased Pioneer premier TS-W3004SPL. 1000 watt RMS each so 2000 watt rms all together, and 3000 watt peak each so 6000 watt peak all together... Im asking you guys if you have or can find the best amp that can meet my requirements. Im looking to get one amp and that's it, its fine if its used or new. Could be from these fourms amazon or ebay. Doesn't matter I just am begging for help! Please keep it around 200 a little more but hopefully less. Thanks all!!!

Just so you know you need to buy an amp that matches your subs' rms rating. Peak watts really mean nothing. And you need to figure out how many ohms they will be wired to. That will determine what amp you get.

Do you have the electrical to support 2000 watts? You might should of thought about that first lol

Depends on the car. Some will support that with just the big 3, some need battery support, some like mine needed an aftermarket alternator.

I really need att that just for 1 amp? im trying to spend the least amount on the amp and the electrical upps I guess I now need. Its not that I don't have a lot of money right now, im just not dumping over 1000 dollars into my car audio..

Then run one sub on 1000 watts. If you try to run 2000 it might end up costing $1000 replacing the factory battery, alternator, amp, and subs.

before i changed my alt, i would maybe add a extra battery in the rear and do a big 3 and see how its running. i didnt see it above but what kind of vehicle do you drive

Oh sorry im driving a 2004 Honda civic coupe ex, not exactly what you call a power house lol and what do you mean 1000 watts on 1 sub? do u mean just leave one unplugged? lol

Yep. He's meaning only use 1 sub. If you bought an enclosure for two, make sure each sub has its own chamber. Shared chambers=no go. Finally, just because the sub is rated to 1k doesn't mean you have to feed it 1k. You might consider getting a 1kw amp and powering both subs off that (so 500 each). It's only a 3dB drop in output doing that.

Ya that civic will fry

 

[David.lee 10+ year member]

okay thanks guys, I guess im going to have to invest in a High output alt. Any good cheap places to get them?

 

[LosIsATool 5,000+ posts]

Excessive amperage. You seem cheap. Don't go with a rewind or ebay special.

 

[David.lee 10+ year member]

well I just don't feel like throwing a bunch of money at this if I don't have to, and if I do I want to do as little as possible.. and so don't go with this? Honda Civic High Output Alternators
