What's the VC configuration on those Premiers? (Pioneer's website doesn't list it on the product page)

Profile's given specs on the AP2000 is 320w @ 4 Ohms and 480w @ 2 Ohms.

The Pioneer is 300w and 600w, respectively.

the TS-W12PRS is a 300 rms sub, but i do not live in USA and i am planing to buy one either the profile AP2000 or the Pioneer gm-d510m thru the internet, but since i do not live in USA the guy at the shop told me to only buy amplifiers which we have dealers and parts available in my country such as pioneer. What if something hapened with the profile amp and i want to repair it....they might repair it but using some spare parts from a boss, sony..amp and it wont be efficient...thats what he said to me. As for pioneer, we have all the right parts...for those amps. But i would like to know ur opinion guys...Thx

Since you have dealers and most likely repair shops in lebanon, I would get the pioneer simply for that reason alone. It would be horrible to have to pay half the price you paid for the amp to send it to the USA in case something went wrong with it.

Also, make up your mind on whether you would like 1 or 2 subs before you buy an amp.

Yup thats what i will most probably do, this pioneer will output 600rms at 2 ohms load, so it could easily power two TS-w12prs ( 300rms each and 4 ohms). Thx

That pionner amp is a little underrated it puts out like 700rms is a pretty well build amp
