Ok guys, since I have a regular cab and I'm not looking for a huge amount of base. I think I'm going with this enclosed sub from pioneer. It will fit and not take up all my room and give me all the bump I need.


I don't know a whole lot about subs and amps, besides what I have been reading online. So I am looking at an amp to power this unit. I know it is nominal 200 watts (RMS) and a peak of 800 watts. From what I have been reading it would be best to go with a 2 channel amp and bridge it. I read that mono amps go better with 2 ohms and this one is 4 ohms. Anyone have any suggestions on an amp that would go well with this? I have found a few but I am wondering what amps I should go with. I know you are supposed to match them if you can, but would a 500 or 600 watt amp work?

I would say find a 200rms/400 or more max 2 channel that is bridgeable. The reason I say "or more" is sometimes off brands will claim a higher max power rating. Typically your peak is double your RMS. While this isn't always true it seems to be the most common scenario.

I was looking at either of these two, thoughts?

And you could run this bridged

Or a 4channel. Can run two channels bridged for the sub and the other two for a set of components up front.

There's ther options just trying to keep in your price range. And don't listen to people saying a mono is better at one thing or yada yada. If an amp is rated to do X amount of power @ X ohms that's all that matters. You could run a 3000watt amp as long as it only does 200-300 watts at 4ohms.
