I just got a 10" pioneer sub for free and im wondering what amp I should get for it. I dont see a model number on it anywhere so theres really no way for me to tell you the exact one I have. I dont want an amp thats gonna rattle my brains out just somethin that adds a little bass to my ROCK music...NOT RAP.

 

Alot will depend on the sub, whats the rating on it? Dual voice coil or single voice coil

 

Look for a TMA amp. They're made by JL audio, and they are really good. If you dont mind buying from ebay than this is a really good amp/deal. http://cgi.ebay.com/TMA-T1000-1-1000-WATT-CLASS-D-AMPLIFIER-CLASS-D-AMP-JL_W0QQitemZ130292261575QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCar_Amp lifiers?hash=item130292261575&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 &_trkparms=72%3A570|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A13 18|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A50

 

More ampage is better than not enough..my brother has 2 JL 10's in his silverado a with an alpine amp and it pumps. i think his is only a 400 watt amp too

 

id say 800 watt but it depends on the power of the sub

 

I have a Kenwood 8140D it is 300RMS and 1000Watt max. I ahave 2 10" Sony slim series subs in sony boxes both are 330 RMS and 1200 Watt max. So I am basically giving each 1/3-1/2 the power they can handle. I listen to rock also, and like my bass and to "feel" the music.

If your sub can handle which it probably can get a Kenwood 8140D for $200 at Best Buy, I got one and love it.

Also to the person who said more ampage is better, I learned from the tech that you want less amp watts and more sub watts so you dont blow you subs. But more is better

 

to be completely honest u dont need any more power than what a 600watt amp can offer for a single 10, ive had my share of systems, with a 600watt amp and a ported box youll be fine, if thats all you want to go for is a little bass

 

Thanx man Im gonna start lookin for one...

 

Ya i wouldnt put very many watts on a 10" sub exspecially a pioneer maybe 600 TOPS if that depending on the sub

 

This is my LIL bass

I got 2 18" FI BTL's(only 1 installed currently) gonna get both reconed and get it walled behind the rear seat and do 10k watts to both currently got this one on a 3k watt crunch amp.Got a 4400watt going on it soon after the recone until i can get another 4400watt amp to go on the other one

 

ive got 3 boston G5 12s in a custom ported box in my montero with a 1200.1 Jl amp and hit a 153 at a local competition, but i like that set up pretty radical for a 4x4toy, i thought about putting mine in the jeep but couldnt bring myself to do it, i use the jeep to much for work

 

possibly a rockford fosgate p300-1 300 watt mono amplifier i have seen that thing kick *** in a car and in videos

 

I love this, JL doesn't make anything they are a marketing company. They pay other people for the equipment. One of my dads students was the engineer for the company that made the JL Woofers for them, his words "JL Audio is the worst woofer we make yet they sell it for the highest profit". lol
Total (TMA) is just made by the cheapest bidder.
