Need help choosing an amp

[Los2085]

I plan on buying 2 10" TS-W2501D4 subs. I want to keep the whole system Pioneer. What pioneer amp can I use to power them? I'm new at this so if anyone can help me with which amp to use and the details of how it should be wired and installed, I would very much appreciate it.

How many of them would I need?

Just one and wire your subwoofers like the first diagram. Also get yourself a $3 multi meter.

What does that do?

You can use it to troubleshoot pretty much every basic electrical problem.

Would it be better if each sub had it's own amp?

Not necessary. Just make sure that the amp you get has enought power to run both subs at the correct ohm load that you'll be wiring them too.

oh ok. so i'm assuming that amp has enough power to run them both, right?

Yes. I'm assuming youre getting good prices on Pioneer stuff?

500 Watts x 1, at 4 ohms

1000 Watts x 1, at 2 ohms

1200 Watts x 1, at 1 ohms

Well... kinda, i'm gonna prolly get everything through ebay but I chose to make everything Pioneer cause I already have a Pioneer Head Unit (DEH-P7600MP) and I like it

Ok that's a valid reason I guess...

Im sure Pioneer will give me da sound i'm lookin for. I prefer quality over just bass. It's gonna be my first system so anything beats factory... lol

How much of a budget do you have to work with? Since you havent bought anything yet im sure people can chime on some recommendations. Not everyone here is a basshead.

so is it the PRS-D1200SPL or the PRS-D1100M? u posted a link to the PRS-D1100M and then later mention the PRS-D1200SPL specs so it got me alittle confused... lol
