Hey,

Looking at adding some subs to my 2001 F-150 SuperCrew. It's already got the Pioneer Speakers and I love the sound of them, but want to add some punch. I'm looking at the Pioneer Premier 10" Shallow Mount Subs (TS-SW1041D). My question is, what amp do I need? It says 250 Watts Nominal Power with Maximum of 1000 Watts. Do I need a 1000 Watt amp then, or could I stick with a 800 Watt amp, like this GM-7300M?

Also, what would be needed if I wanted to do two of the 10in subs? Another amp or just more wires?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

 

whoa editing here:

I just looked at the specs for that amp and it should be fine powering that sub. Since the amp puts out 250w RMS you'll be fine.

If you add another sub you might want to get a bigger amp. Since your will only put out 360w RMS at 2 ohms. Which if you buy two 4 ohm speakers you'll get 2 ohms wired in parallel.

 

Thanks for the reply!!

So let me just check if I understood you right: If I just get one of these Pioneer Premier 10" Shallow Mount Subs (TS-SW1041D), I should get the GM-7300M, which is a 800 Watt amp.

Then if I decide to get two of the TS-SW1041D subs, then get another GM-7300M amp.

Please respond with a yay or nay...lol Thanks!!

 

Dont pay any attention to peak power numbers...the 800 watts is just a bunch of bs. Whats important are the RMS (somtimes called Continuos or Nominal) power ratings, becase that is what an amp REALLY puts out for power, or how much power a speaker and REALLY handle.

Like Impact said, that amp is a great match for one of those subs. If you moved up to two subs, that amp will still drive the subs good, but not to their full potential since it only does 360 watts if you wired two subs to it.

If you wanted I guess you could run two of those amps, personally I would just look for a different amp...
