my 1997 corolla setup:

Pioneer headunit DEH-P8600

6.5" Pioneer 3way front door

6.5" Pioneer 4way rear dash

4" Pioneer 2way rear dash

2 12" Pioneer Subs TS-W34C 4ohms ea. 500watts

rockford Fosgate 201s 600watts on subs

rockford Fosgate punch 100 on the door

What amp and what speaker/subs are you talking about?

depends on ur amp

Yeah, it depends on the ohm load your amp could take. Are those dual 4's or single 4's?

^^x2...the lower the load the more power ull get out of your amps(if they can take the load) but ull lose control over the speaker...its not gonna sound as good(less precise) but will bang harder...

You need a new subwoofer amplifier homeslice.

A pair of single 4ohm voice coil subwoofers with that amplifier is a bad combination. Your only reasonable option is to wire one subwoofer per channel, giving them an anemic 50w each.

Buck up and purchase a new amplifier if you want any kind of real performance out of those subs.

Or.....ditch one of the subs and bridge the amplifier to a single one of the Pioneers. With a decent ported enclosure, you would probably get satisfactory subbass.......
