Need an amp suggestion

[darkdrake 10+ year member]

i plan on getting my girlfriend 2 pioneer TS-W256DVC's in a sealed box that i already have. all i need to know is what kind of amp to get. id like something by hifonics cause of there great quality for the price. and also how should i wire 2 of these?

ok ill prolly be wiring these up as a 1 ohm load, because there dual voice coil at 4 ohms.. and going by this...:

it should be ok..

just need an amp to power them... anybody have any suggestions? hifonics recommended

If it is Hifonics I would say a BXi 606 would suit them pretty decently. It will give you 300w to each sub at that impedence. Those subs are about 350rms each.

how much power can they take? What about an amp that does power at a 4 ohm load?

According to the Pioneer website it says that those subs can take 350watts rms.

If your wanting an amp that puts out 700watts at 4 ohms, that will be a pretty big amp for example

Most amps work similar to this

700watts at 4ohms

1400watts at 2 ohms

2600watts at 1 ohm or some variation of this

I have a similar power requirement as of right now and I use a JL 1000.1

I don't know what kind of money crunch you are on but this amp is different in that it is

1000w at 4 ohms

1000w at 3 ohms

1000w at 2 ohms

1000w at 1.5 ohms It will not support a 1 ohm load

If you did go with that amp you would want to set you gain correctly using a voltmeter so you don't overpower your subs. I got mine for a little over 600 dollars off of ebay.

You could probably find the hifonics mentioned earlier on ebay for around 150 or so (just guessing)

A pair of Dual 4 Ohm drivers can be wired for 4 Ohms as well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

If you think of it only in the terms of a monoblock running at its highest impendence load, maybe. Consider for a moment a bridged 2-channel amp......

It's not 700 watts.....it's 600 when bridged, but see here and look at the very first amp on the page, the Clarus CL800. $87 plus shipping so for around $100/shipped you're looking at adequate power with a valid warranty. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
