i have a pioneer 8061 amplifier which can do 800 watts rms at 1 ohm. so if i get two 4 ohms models and wire them down to 1 ohm, would that work good?

The subs are 400rms a sub so you would be powering the pair at there rms range (provided you have the electrical to support 800rms.. and if I recall correctly that Pioneer actually does closer to 600-700rms.. either way still enough power for a P2... As for working good.. your enclosure is where you will make or break the install... I recommend a bigger sealed box. Good luck :)

Yes u can depending on the ohm of your subs. You want to run it at full power so that would be 1 ohm load. So you need 2 dual 4 ohm subs run them parallel. Meaning + to +and -to -. Had my bench tested it pushed right around 1300 rms at one ohm. Just set ur gains right and run 4 gauge nothing less. This amp pushes my eclipse like crazy and they are 600 rms a sub. Hope this helps.

If you are only running one sub I would get the DVC 2 ohm sub and wire it down to run a 1 ohm load instead of the DVC 4 ohm sub you have listed. That sub when wired singlely will produce a 2 ohm load. It is easier to find a reasonibly priced 1 ohm 600+ watt 1 ohm amp than a 2 ohm amp. Personally I wouldn't run much more than 800 watts RMS to that sub, it can handle more but it is rated at 600 watts. The difference in actual sound difference in 600 watts and say 1000 watts isn't very much, doubling the wattage doesn't double the output like a lot of people think. When you start running 1000+ watts you need to strait upgrading your electrical in your car. For a daily driver 600-800 watts RMS of clean power is all you will need.

Yes it will work. If it is two quite you can wire two speakers in parallel on one channel to drop it to 8 ohms.

I wouldn't use this unit. It will not drive 8 ohms speakers even though it's rated 90W. Also if you don't connect both channels it will severely overheat. Must be the way the amp is designed.

Four speakers (2 pair) at once yes. Four pairs no. Total resistance should not drop below 4 ohms with most amplifiers.

Should be fine. I have it powering two 12" Bostons. I ran 8 gauge wire to it. "BOSS Audio KIT2 8 Gauge Amplifier" I ordered that for 16$ has everything you'll need... My speakers are also 4 ohm, so I have them wired normal.. but if yours are 8ohm I'd suggest hooking them up parallel, you'll get more power.But, Pioneer is a Japanese made amp. So you'll get better sound quality then bass. Though it'll still kick, it works fine for me. But if you want something designed more for bass, get an American made sub, something like kickerz.

can say, i'm pushing 2 fisher studio 1o inch, and pioneer full range 12 inch, in my studio. i use 2 to mix down , and all four to kick back. crank this little amp up, blow you away." and yes they are " 8 ohms " i have (2) of them.

That amp is way more than enough, this is what I found:RMS: 1000W x 1 @ 4 ohms, 1500W x 1 @ 2 ohms, 2100W x 1 @ 1 ohm. This sub is 400 rms. Please read up more on rms vs max power. Generally though, you want your amp to put out 75% to 125% off what the sub can handle rms, don't even pay attention to max. So, if you have a 4 ohm sub set up with your amp, it should be able to handle between 750 and 1250 watts rms, with 1000 really being ideal. In this case you could run several of these in different configurations depending on how you wire them, series vs parallel. Based on your question though, you need to do a lot more research and educate yourself on how these things work, or you're just going to burn out either your subs, amps, or both. That's a much more expensive easy to learn.

I'm running the Pioneer GM-D8604 400watts RMS 1200watts Max Mono Amp-Pioneer GM-D8601 800watts RMS 1600watts Max. Max watts mean nothing, always look at RMS watts. I tested my amps to see what they are really doing in watts. My GM-D8604 is putting out 487watts and my GM-D8601 is doing 860watts... I have no problems with getting hot and I'm running at 2ohms. Yeah they are good amps.

Yes, you should be able to power your 8 ohms speakers. Just don't daisy-chain another set of speakers.

Absolutely. The specs sheet info is aimed for 8 ohm speakers, therefore it should not have any problem powering 4 ohm speakers. By the way, wiat a power suply rated at 36V the max power rms it can deliver is 80W (40W per channel) if using 8 ohm speakers. If using 4 ohm speakers it should be able to deliver 160 W, but that would probably blow your speakers!

Yes, you can hook two subs up to this amp by wiring them in series. Check crutchfield for wiring diagrams to get the right ohm/impedence level. *Note-although they're listed as being 1ohm stable, don't run it that way. Keep it at a 2-4ohm level and it last and perform very well. Good luck, and I hope you like it!

That's a good match, IMO. An 8 ohm load will only make ~7-8 watts on this amp. You may start to see some distortion after half volume but even at that point, it's plenty loud. Just keep in mind, it's not a 100 watt amp.. I had that amp connected to a pair of large 100 watt 8 ohm home stereo speakers and it did a great job! If you have a way to adjust the tone on the input audio, it'll rock! Very clean and accurate..

That depends on what your amp output is. If your amp only supports 2 ohm speakers then no they will not sound good these are 4 ohm speakers. I got a pioneer deck and a amp bypass wire and they sound awesome!

It's best if you use speakers that can handle the output of the amplifier. Since the manufacture states 2000 watts, I think that they are telling us the that is the output at 2 ohms. I run a Peavey IPR 1600 at 8 ohms and my amplifier will only put out 300 watts per channel at 8 ohms. My amp will put out 560 watts at 4 ohms . It will produce 1600 watts at 2 ohms, however running a power amplifier at 2 ohms is hard on the amplifier. Its best to run speakers that are 8 ohms and you'll have clean and clear sound as loud as the amplifier will produce at 8 ohms. Less wattage clear sound.
