So the RMS is 250 watts. I guess I should've asked you before, the Pioneer amp is a 2 channel? If so, you would need the new subs to be either a single 8 ohm or a dual 4 ohm. It should run fine.

If the new subs are 4 ohm, then you would have to run the amp in stereo (2 channel). If you want to bridge ( 1 channel or mono) the amp you need 8 ohm or dual 4 ohm subs.
